US To Send Raw Materials ‘Urgently Required’ For Covishield

New Delhi: The United States will “immediately” make sources available for raw materials needed to increase production of coronavirus vaccine Covishield, of which there is a critical shortage in India.

India is grappling with the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic which is reporting over 3 lakh cases a day and an active caseload of close to 27 lakh.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had a discussion with his Indian counterpart, Ajit Doval, on Sunday to confirm this, and also that his country had “identified supplies of therapeutics, rapid diagnostic test kits, ventilators and PPE suits that will (also) be made immediately available to India,” reported AFP.

US President Joe Biden tweeted that US is “determined” to help India in its “time of need”.
