Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has set off health alarms around the world, prompting major pharmaceutical laboratories to rapidly develop vaccines to fight the virus. Developed countries produced the first vaccines, leading the periphery not only in the production of these drugs but also in distribution. However, Argentina has signed local production agreements for vaccines produced in developed countries. It should not be ignored that Argentina is one of the countries in the region with local production and export skills. Considering this capabilities, this work examines the possibilities that local production of vaccines against COVID-19, represent as an instrument of competitiveness of the Argentine pharmaceutical sector, based on certain vectors of competitiveness and the projections that the sector has made for 2025, in a scenario prior to this global phenomenon.
