4.07 Statens Serum Institut should face competition
Today, virtually all vaccines for the Danish market are distributed via Statens Seruminstitut (the Danish National Serum Institute). The reason for this is that the Institute has a monopoly on distribution. Lif sees no rational grounds for this, as the distribution of vaccines could certainly take place via existing distribution channels.
Lif is certain that the existing distribution channels would be fully able to ensure safe and economically efficient distribution.
Lif believes:
- that the vaccine distribution monopoly should be abolished, giving private manufacturers equal access to the market,
- that a more free competition must be expected to lead to lower prices for county councils/consumers.
