Quote number (#)	Quote and interviewee
7	“If you would have asked a year ago, everyone would have said R&D would be the most difficult step, but now it turns out that actually production is” - Respondent 1 – Pharmaceutical Company
8	“the shortage of manufacturing capacity is a barrier that will disappear, because we are already creating new capacities for this pandemic, and they will stay.” – Respondent #12 – Pharmaceutical company
9	“The question remains whether we need the increased manufacturing capacity for future pandemics, or that we need to organize a smarter network with strict international agreements and shorter supply chains.” – Respondent #8 – Governmental Funding Agency
10	“Biologics companies have taken advantage of the market opportunity to move into vaccines. They have created a lot of capacity very fast. They may be wanting to go back to their more profitable, steadier pursuits once the initial rush is over, but they may not be able to do this because we don't know where covid is going to go. If it really becomes an annual shot that has to be given to everybody on the planet, that's a huge drain of capacity. So, one of the things that may happen, at least in the short run, is that capacity can't grow to enable new products.” – Respondent #11 – Non-Governmental Organization
11	“What we have seen in Europe, is that people are now paying attention. We have become highly dependent on China and India for crucial supplies. This was already the case for certain types of antibiotics. Essential antibiotics that were produced in one single factory in China. Looking geopolitically and economically, and such a factory stops, we have a problem. That is risky. For essential medicines or essential vaccines you shouldn't want to be dependent of a single company.” – Respondent #1 – Pharmaceutical company
12	“If every country decides to set up their own facilities, shortage of supplies will become more evident. If every country then starts to hoard, upscaling of manufacturing will become even harder. This ‘me-first’ attitude is a serious threat.” – Respondent #10 – Government Representative
