India approves two COVID vaccines, initial plans to vaccinate 300 million

Featured Replies

India has approved the AstraZeneca vaccine (produced locally by the Serum Inst. of India) and its locally developed vaccine from Bharat Biotech. Ambitious plans to vaccinate some 300 million persons by July 2021 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55520658, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/02/india-prepares-for-vast-covid-vaccination-push-ahead-of-astrazeneca-oxford-jab-approval. By the way, it is ironic that there are only a few million doses available in the UK at the moment whereas the Serum Institute has already stockpiled more than 50 million doses. Two other vaccines (one by the local Zydus Carilla Healthcare as well as the Russian Sputnik V) may be approved shortly.

Well that is Delhi sorted then.

I thought Delhi's population was around 15 million.

India excels at these sort of things, making mass vaccination, distributing mass vaccinations. It's like a thali system. Only they understand a population of 1.6 billion.   I believe they started making and stock pilling the vaccines months ago.  You will probably see them vaccinate the entire population very quickly.

 

There are weird viruses in India all the time, a mysterious virus will kill 20 people in a village and then be forgotten.
