Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Monday that the world’s largest inoculation campaign against the coronavirus will begin in the country, a day after the drug regulator approved two vaccines for emergency restricted use.
Praising scientists and technicians for ‘Made in India’ vaccines, he said the country is proud of them.
“The world’s largest COVID-19 vaccination program is ready to start in India. For this reason, the country is proud of the contributions of its scientists and technicians ”, said Modi.
Addressing scientists at the National Metrology Conclave, Modi said it must be ensured that ‘Made in India’ products are not only in global demand but also globally accepted.
“Quality is as important as quantity, our standards must rise with our scale in our pursuit of Aatmanirbhar Bharat,” he said.
India’s drug regulator on Sunday approved Oxford Covishield’s COVID-19 vaccine, made by the Serum Institute, and indigenously developed Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin for emergency restricted use in the country, paving the way for a campaign of massive inoculation.
