covid vaccine: ‘India’s ban on vaccine exports increases the risk of new strain of corona to 91 countries’

New Delhi: India’s ban on coronary vaccine exports to India poses a threat to 91 countries around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) chief scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan has made this prediction. Most of these poor African countries are heavily dependent on the Covishield vaccine of AstraZeneca produced by the Serum Institute of India in India. In addition, these countries are eagerly awaiting the Novavax vaccine on corona.

The non-supply of coronavirus vaccine from India has further increased the risk of B. coli strain B.1.617.2, which was first detected in India, to countries in the African continent. Other countries have also accumulated the possibility of supplying vaccines to poor countries. This could lead to an even faster spread of Corona’s B.1.617.2 strain in these countries. Not only B.1.617.2 is the variant but other variants can also be spread all over the world. These are highly contagious variants of the virus. This has been found in 117 variants of the virus, said Soumya Swaminathan. He gave an interview to NDTV. In it she was talking.

The Serum Institute has an agreement with AstraZeneca. Accordingly, the Serum Institute was to supply about 1 billion doses of the vaccine to low- and middle-income countries. This included the supply of 400 million doses by the end of 2020. According to the International Vaccine Alliance Gavi, the vaccine was to be supplied to poor countries.

If similar unequal distribution of vaccines continues, the situation in some countries will soon return to normal. But the forthcoming waves of the Corona will create a major crisis in poor countries. But no one can stop India from buying large quantities of vaccines from Serum and Bharat Biotech, Swaminathan said.

The second wave of corona in the country created a dire situation in India. As a result, India immediately stopped exporting vaccines to Corona. The supply of vaccines was diverted to the states. Vaccination opened for all. But many states still do not have the expected supply of vaccines for vaccination. This has slowed down vaccination. But India’s decision has cut off the supply of vaccines to poor countries, according to the village.
