After Pfizer and Moderna, the Serum Institute of India (SII), which manufactures the Corona Vaccine Coveshield, has also sought legal protection from the government. The company has said that the law should be equal for all. If legal protection is being provided to foreign vaccine companies, then they should also get this facility.
Company sources told news agency ANI that not only SII but every company producing the vaccine in the country should be given protection. The serum is producing AstraZeneca-Oxford's corona vaccine in the country under the name Covishield.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Ministry of Health issued a statement saying that many countries have given these facilities to vaccine companies. India also has no problem in providing this facility. Foreign companies apply for emergency approval, they can get this facility.
What facilities do Pfizer and Moderna want?
Several rounds of talks have taken place between the Indian government and Pfizer and Moderna regarding the vaccine deal. Pfizer also issued a statement saying that talks are going on with India regarding the vaccine and its results will be out soon.
The matter regarding the vaccine deal is stuck in one place. Companies have sought assurance of legal protection from many governments including the US, UK. Now Pfizer is making the same demand in India. Companies want that after the vaccine is administered, if there is any kind of legal screw-up, then the company will not be responsible for it. The central government has to come forward for this.
Test license sought for Sputnik-V
At the same time, SII has sought approval from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) for a test license to make Russia's Covid vaccine Sputnik-V. According to sources, on Thursday the Pune-based firm has also sought approval for test analysis and testing. Russia's Sputnik-V vaccine is currently being made in India by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories.
100 million vaccine production and supply by June
Recently, SII wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. It said that its employees are working round the clock despite many challenges. In June, we will be able to manufacture and supply about 100 million doses of the Covidshield vaccine. Our production capacity in May was 6.5 crore doses.
World's largest company to make serum vaccine
Serum Institute is the world's largest vaccine maker. So far it has sold 1.5 billion doses of different vaccines. This is also a kind of record. According to one figure, 60% of the world's children have had some form of serum vaccine.
Serum vaccines supplied in 170 countries
