- India will likely delay deliveries of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine doses to the COVAX facility backed by GAVI and WHO for March and April.
- “COVAX is in talks with the government of India with a view to ensuring deliveries as quickly as possible.” UNICEF said in an email.
- Reuters reported on Wednesday that India had put a temporary hold on all major exports of the AstraZeneca shot made by SII, the world’s biggest vaccine maker, to meet domestic demand as infections rise.
- UNICEF also said that COVAX participant countries have also been told about lower-than-expected supplies of AstraZeneca doses made in South Korea for March.
- “In line with the challenges of the current global supply environment, this is due to challenges the company faces in rapidly scaling up supply and optimising production processes for these early deliveries,” UNICEF said.
