Not only is India running the world’s largest Vaccination Program, but is also delivering the Corona vaccine to 92 poor countries. Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer, had signed a deal with Oxford University and AstraZeneca under which India would manufacture vaccines for 92 poor countries.
Later, under an unannounced system, it was decided that 50 percent of the vaccine would be used for domestic vaccination and 50 percent for export. Meanwhile, Corona cases have started increasing rapidly in India. So India’s priority is to deliver the vaccine to its people. The head of the ‘Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization’ (GAVI) said that in view of the sudden increase in cases of COVID-19 in India, it may reduce the supply of vaccines worldwide.
New wave will affect vaccine supply
Gavi CEO Seth Berklee said in an interview to CBS News that India is supplying the most vaccines to developing countries in the world. In the wake of the new wave of COVID-19 in India, the Government of India has expanded its vaccination program and this means that it will need higher doses, i.e. they will be able to supply less vaccines in the world.
He said that we were expecting to get 9 crore doses of the vaccine in March and April and now we doubt that we will get such a dose and that is the problem. Explain that ‘Gavi Alliance’ is a public-private global health partnership, which works to provide vaccines for developing countries.
Expectations from rich countries
Berklee said that but our hope is still intact because rich countries are providing vaccines to most of their population. We hope that they will soon provide vaccines for the rest of the world, as well as those which they are not using. For example, America not only has ‘Moderna’, ‘Pfizer’ and ‘J&J’ vaccines, but also has ‘Novavax’ and ‘AstraZeneca’ vaccines. He said that these can be made available, this will be a big help in the supply of vaccines in the world.
