Many vaccines in the world have reached the second and third stage trials to prevent coronavirus infection, and the race to purchase has begun months before the vaccines hit the market. Many big and rich countries are busy pre-booking their citizens. However, India has taken a good lead in this. India has already ordered 600 million doses using vaccine manufacturing capacity and is in talks for another billion, which is sufficient to immunize at least half of the population. To develop antibodies in the body, most likely two doses of the vaccine have to be taken.
The analysis of the Advance Market Commitments (AMCs) as of October 8 shows that the US is ahead of India in this case, having pre-ordered 81 crore doses and bargaining for 1.6 billion doses. It would take three to four years to produce enough vaccine to cover the entire population of the world, countries with rich and middle income, which also have manufacturing capacity, have already started buying. These countries, including India, have shopped 3.8 billion doses. These figures were presented by the US-based Duke Global Health Innovation Center after reviewing the Covid-19 purchasing agreement.
Andrea D. Taylor, assistant director at the Duke Global Health Innovation Center, said, "The US has confirmed orders for 81 million doses, with talks going on for another 1.6 billion doses." Then there is India which has booked 600 million doses and is involved in the process of purchasing another 1 billion doses. The European Union has booked 400 million doses and negotiations are on for bookings worth 1.565 billion. But if we look at the percentage of population covering, then Canada has made 527 percent vaccine bookings against the population and after this, the UK has 277 percent pre-bookings. ''
"India is producing vaccines to protect the world from Covid-19," a senior official in the Union Health Ministry said on condition of anonymity. Why shouldn't he also ensure the safety of his citizens? The government is committed to protecting its citizens, so every step is being taken to get adequate vaccine doses when available. ''
Since none of the vaccines undergoing trials have received regulatory approval, countries are placing bets by purchasing several candidate vaccines and some of them may not be completed. For example, the UK has entered into a deal with five different vaccine candidates in advance, which are made up of four different technologies.
