Prakash Kumar Singh, Director of Government and Regulatory Affairs at the Serum Institute, reportedly wrote to the Health Ministry providing dosages worth Rs. 410 crores free of charge, according to an official source, according to Press Trust of India.
According to reports, Singh has asked the ministry how the delivery can be achieved. The Serum Institute of India (SII) has given the government with approximately 170 crore doses of Covishield for the national immunisation programme.
Amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in various countries, notably China and South Korea, the administration has issued a warning and advised states and union territories to be ready for anything. India has increased its COVID surveillance and genome sequencing of positive samples.
Only 27% of the eligible adult population received the prophylactic dosage. Government authorities have urged people who are eligible to take it. Official sources warned on Wednesday that the next 40 days will be critical since India may face a COVID increase in January.
Even if there is a wave, the number of deaths and hospitalisations will be quite low, according to Health Ministry sources. On Tuesday, mock exercises were staged at health institutions throughout India to assess operational readiness in the event of an increase in COVID-19 infection.
