Coronavirus vaccine expected in early 2021 from more than one source: Health Minister

A vaccine against coronavirus is expected to be available in India by early 2021, from more than one source in early 2021, Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan said on Monday.

Harsh Vardhan, at a Group of Ministers meeting, said, “We’re expecting that early next year we should have the vaccine in the country from maybe more than one source. Our expert groups are formulating strategies to plan on how to roll out the distribution of the vaccine in the country.”

Harsh Vardhan’s remarks on the availability of coronavirus vaccine in India and its distribution in the country has come a day after the World Health Organization (WHO) said it believes a coronavirus vaccine would be ready for registration by December 2020 or early next year at the earliest.

The minister had said that considering the large population size of India, one vaccine or vaccine manufacturer will not be to fulfill the requirements of vaccinating the whole country.
India is the second worst affect country by the coronavirus pandemic after the United States.
