New Delhi: The negligible side-effects showing Indian coronavirus vaccine is in heavy demand in the 92 countries including the European and South American Countries. India started its coronavirus vaccination drive on January 16.

India is already sending its domestically developed vaccines to several neighbouring countries including Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

A few days back Prime Minister of Dominican Republic Roosevelt Skerrit wrote a letter to Prime Minister Modi for the coronavirus vaccine.

In a letter Roosevelt Skerrit wrote that “As we enter 2021 and persevere in our fight against Covid-19, Dominica’s population of 72,100 is in urgent need of enough doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. I, therefore, request, with great humility and respect that you assist us by donating the doses we need to make our population safe.”

Brazil also sent its special plane to India to pick up Indian vaccines from Pune, Brazil is the second most coronavirus affected country in the world after the US.

A Brazilian plane is expected to fly the first 2 million doses of a Covid-19 vaccine purchased by the government’s Fiocruz biomedical institute.

Eduardo Pazuello Health Minister of Brazil said that “The documentation is ready for bringing the AstraZeneca-Oxford University vaccine being produced at the Serum Institute of India.”

The National Health Surveillance Agency of Brazil or ANVISA has scheduled a meeting for next Sunday to decide on the emergency use of the vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford as well as one developed by China’s Sinovac Biotec.

The South American Country Bolivia also signed a contract with the Serum institute of India for supply of 5 million doses of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine.

Prime Minister Modi messaged that India’s vaccine approaches are intended to heal humanity and India would not be averse to provide vaccines to Pakistan also, as part of a drive to eliminate the virus globally.

According to sources India would not hesitate to supply jabs to Beijing and anywhere as well if the Chinese vaccine does not work.

World trusts the Indian coronavirus vaccine. China’s Sinovac Biotech Covid-19 vaccine has shown patchy results in Thailand.

Thailand has discovered that the efficacy of the two million doses of the Chinese Sinovac Biotech Covid-19 vaccine, has dropped dramatically. Thailand had ordered two million vaccine doses from China.

According to Thailand’s media report the Thai Ministry of Public Health has requested further information about the vaccine it has ordered from China following a report that the vaccine might not be as effective as first thought.

Health experts expressed their views over the Indian Coronavirus vaccine and said that “already more than 90 countries contacted India for coronavirus vaccine and more countries like Singapore and Thailand may contact India for Made in India coronavirus vaccine in future.”

India may double its coronavirus vaccine production to fill the demand of foreign nations for corona vaccine.

World health experts praised India’s fight against coronavirus and said that “At this moment, India is the only nation – could develop covid-19 doses as per requirement and at low price also.”
