Covid vaccine is expected to be available in India by early next year and there could be vaccines from more than one source, Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan said today.
“We’re expecting that early next year, we should have vaccine in the country from maybe more than one source. Our expert groups are already formulating and devising strategies to plan on how to roll out the distribution of the vaccines in the country, who do we give the vaccine first and then of course we are strengthening the cold chain facilities,” Dr Harsh Vardhan said during a meeting of the Group of Ministers. At present, four coronavirus vaccines are in advanced stages of pre-clinical trial in India.
India is the second worst affect country by the coronavirus pandemic after the United States.
The number of new coronavirus infections reported daily across the country dropped below 60,000, even as the caseload surged to 71,75,880 and the total recoveries crossed 62 lakh, the Union Health Ministry data said today.
