India to get 400-500 mn vaccine doses by July: Harsh Vardhan

Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan has said that India is set to get 400-500 million vaccines by July 2021. He gave this statement during a virtual programme organised by FICCI FLO.

During the programme, National Treasurer Lalita Nijhawan, in an FAQ session, asked the Health Minister about the method of distribution of the vaccines across the country.

“First of all, priority has been given on the basis of medical grounds because we are a country of 135 crore people. For such large numbers of people, nobody can arrange large quantities of doses of vaccines in a single go. By July to August 2021, we will have 400-500 million dosages available. Now it is under clinical trials in many companies,” said Dr Harsh Vardhan.
