Abstract
AbstractFree vaccination against COVID-19 commenced in India on January 16,
2021, and the government is urging all of its citizens to be immunized, in what is
expected to be the largest vaccination program in the world. Out of the eight
COVID-19 vaccines that are currently under various stages of clinical trials in
India, four were developed in the country. India’s drug regulator has
approved restricted emergency use of Covishield (the name employed in India for the
Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine) and Covaxin, the home-grown vaccine produced by Bharat
Biotech. Indian manufacturers have stated that they have the capacity to meet the
country’s future needs for COVID-19 vaccines. The manpower and cold-chain
infrastructure established before the pandemic are sufficient for the initial
vaccination of 30 million healthcare workers. The Indian government has taken urgent
measures to expand the country’s vaccine manufacturing capacity and has also
developed an efficient digital system to address and monitor all the aspects of
vaccine administration.
