Although the issue of shipping vaccines to neighboring countries, including Bangladesh, is a priority, at the moment India cannot fulfill the request of any friendly state near or far. Anurag Srivastava, a spokesman for the Delhi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was quoted by various international media on Friday. The corona vaccination program is scheduled to start across India from Saturday. The Calcutta daily Anandabazar has also published almost identical information. And in the Voice of America report, the Delhi disability issue has received a lot of publicity. According to the report, a Delhi spokesman told reporters that at the moment, India is busy with its immunization program, its preparations are underway, the full dose has not yet reached all places. But at midnight (Saturday) the vaccination will begin. Therefore, it will not be possible to accept foreign applications at this time. However, India has said that India will arrange for all countries to source vaccines made in India. Also in that case, India has already declared the priority to be given to neighboring countries. But now you can’t give it to any neighbor or far away. It is not possible to say exactly when it will be administered. According to the report, Brazil has said it will send a plane directly to India to pressure India to provide an antidote to Corona. The plane will fly to Mumbai and bring a 20 lakh dose of corona antidote from the Pune Serum Institute in a special container, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Earlier, Brazilian President Bolsonaro wrote a letter to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to get vaccinated against the crown as soon as possible. Brazil has purchased two million doses of corona antidote directly from the Serum Institute. Its price has also been paid. But as Prime Minister Modi has said, we must provide this vaccine to all countries for the good of humanity. But then we fix our own place.
Meanwhile, the Anandabazar report highlighted the preparation of a vaccination program in India, as well as the problem of shortages. It has been said that there is no certainty when the general public in India will get the antidote to the crown. In addition to the discomfort of the Narendra Modi government in this situation, Brazil issued a statement saying that they were sending a plane to India to take 2 million doses of the Corona antidote. The antidote is expected to arrive in Brazil on the 18th. However, Indian Foreign Ministry officials say the government has no plans to ship drugs to other countries.
According to the report, this is true, Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to give Brazil an antidote. Brazilian President Zaire Bolsonaro recently pleaded with Modi to send him an immediate antidote. But this time, the Brazilian Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuelo, has announced that the Serum Institute of India will provide him with 2 million doses of Covishield from Oxford and AstraZeneca. South Africa also claimed that Serum had promised to send its antidote this month. However, the Pune-based company did not open its mouth about it.
Adar Punawala, Siram’s chief executive, had previously said that antidotes could be shipped abroad in March. Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said it was not possible to say when India could send antidotes to any country. Regarding the shipment of planes to Brazil, a source from the Foreign Ministry said that although Brazil sent planes, Delhi is not giving (antidote) now.
