GlaxoSmithKline makes over 70 drugs for a broad range of conditions ranging from antidepressants to amoxicillin to oncology drugs. The Brentford, U.K.–based company has worked on COVID-19 vaccine candidates throughout the pandemic. In May 2020, GlaxoSmithKline said it would produce 1 billion doses of adjuvanted COVID-19 vaccine candidates. It signed an agreement along with Sanofi with the U.K. government in July to supply 60 million doses of a vaccine in the U.K. GlaxoSmithKline has also been working with Medicago to develop a plant-derived COVID-19 vaccine candidate and announced the beginning of a Phase 3 trial in March this year.
