| Serum Institute of India (SII) has NOT contracted all its production of COVID vaccine to the Centre till 25th May 2021 |
New Delhi (Lisbon Times):- There have been some
media reports suggesting that Serum Institute of India (SII) has contracted all
its production till 25th May 2021 to the Centre, and therefore till that date
the State governments will not be able to procure vaccines from SII.
These media reports
are based on incorrect facts and are without any basis.
In order to expand and
liberalize the countrywide vaccination drive, the Union Government has on 19th April 2021 announced the Liberalised Pricing and
Accelerated National Covid-19 Vaccination Strategy which would come into effect
from 1st May 2021.
A key feature of the
Liberalized Pricing and Accelerated National Covid-19 Vaccination Strategy is
that the “Vaccine manufacturers would supply 50% of their monthly Central
Drugs Laboratory (CDL) released doses to Govt. of India and would be free to
supply remaining 50% doses to State Governments and in the other than Govt. of
India channel”. The State governments are free to purchase the vaccine doses
from the vaccine manufacturers.
