Most reasonably large developed countries probably have the capacity if they care enough - for example, I don't think the UK was particularly well-equipped to do local vaccine manufacturing, most of the pharmaceutical industry here buggered off to other countries long ago along with the other manufacturing, but the government cared enough (and distrusted the US enough) to insist on local production anyway.

I think with a population of 38M and a private sector not particularly equipped to provide this service, revisiting a Crown Corporation might not be a bad path forward.
