"This has been an unprecedented period in our sterile injectable history and we have not been operating under normal manufacturing timescales or workforce numbers. "We therefore have made the difficult decision to now undertake a process to 'right size' our business to anticipate and meet the future needs of the organisation without the vaccine work.
"Wockhardt will continue to operate as normal manufacturing all other product lines including critical medicines into the NHS."
