Today I got my first COVID-19 vaccination dose. I am extremely grateful and privileged to be able to live in a part of the world where I can already get vaccinated. The vaccine distribution around the world is extremely unequal. 1/2 
According to New York Times; “84 percent of shots that have gone into arms worldwide have been administered in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Only 0.3 percent of doses have been administered in low-income countries.” 2/3
No one is safe until everyone is safe. But when you get offered a vaccine, don’t hesitate. It saves lives. #VaccineEquity #VaccineForAll

1/ A little thread on the new evidence emerging on how and why the 75:25 ratio of allocation of vaccine doses across the union government and private hospitals may actually be slowing down overall vaccination rates in India. #VaccineForAll
2/ Given the high prices for vaccines in private hospitals, the allocation of 25 per cent of doses to private hospitals is essentially a reservation for the rich. It weakens the goal of equality and allows for discrimination to persist in the vaccine policy.
3/ In addition, GoI has now admitted that vaccination rates are slowed down due to the 25 per cent allocation.
An official press release, dated 14 July 2021, admits to four problems with Private Covid Vaccination Centres (PCVC), which includes private hospitals.

The #BombayHighCourt bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni is hearing a PIL on vaccination for homeless and mentally challenged people
Adv Sarosh Bharucha for petitioner: State has filed two short affidavits. They aren't taking care of the contentions and prayers made by us in our PIL.
J Kulkarni (after perusing the affidavit): The affidavit is extremely unsatisfactory. How can homeless people be expected to register online?
AGP Geeta Shastri: The homeless will have to come to the center and register

A made-in-India COVID vaccine, developed by Hyderabad-based firm Biological E could be 90% effective against COVID-19, an expert from a government advisory panel said. Dr. NK Arora said the vaccine is in phase three trials and could be available by October

Dr. Arora also added, "Bio E will be out likely in October with an efficacy matching Novavax's. In other words, 90 percent. They are moving to stage three trials soon (sic)," He also chairs the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI). #covidupdates
Biological E's vaccine, branded Corbevax, contains spike protein part of novel coronavirus. When the spike protein is injected, the body generates an immune response against it, thus helping the recipient fight off illness if they are exposed to the infection #COVIDVaccination

First 10 days 20 idlis were available for 10 people everyday (60+ category). Because of hesitancy only 2 people ate and16 were wasted. Next 10 days 50 idlis for 25 people per day (45+ category). Again 15 people ate & 20 idlis were wasted. 1/n
Opposition parties wanted it to open for all and centre agreed. As per current available capacity 200 idlis can be prepared per day for 100 people. Now, 18+ & all those who were hesitant have lined up and questioning govt. Current requirement is 500 per day. 2/n
Further, as per agreement,some idlis are to be given free to grocery supplier for distribution amongst poor. Instead of educating & saving the public, opposition parties behaved irresponsibly. They created doubt & fear about idlis saying that there is poison in idli. 3/n

But this is a mere eyewash because-
1.This has been left to the discretion of the respective state/ UT governments
2.This shall be implemented only if vaccine has been left unutilised from online registrations and that too at Government CVCs.

According to Ohio Governor DeWine, $1 million cash prize will be given to 5 lucky state residents who have received at least one vaccine shot. Ohio residents aged 12-17 also stand a chance to win full, 4-year scholarships to state public universities if they receive their jabs.
Moreover, many American states are incentivizing their residents to get vaccine jabs. Earlier, the state of West Virginia had announced a $100 savings bond for those getting vaccinated. Meanwhile, New Jersey is offering free beers to residents for taking the shot. #NewJersey

So finally I have an answer to what has happened to Novavax production in India, thanks to the difficulty getting raw materials out of the US. The news was worse than I expected.
There is says, Stan Erck of that firm, a "global raw material supply difficulty".
There is says, Stan Erck of that firm, a "global raw material supply difficulty".
Novavax lines in India and the UK have been affected by shortages of items needed from the US.
Start with the UK which has been manufacturing this vaccine for a while (not yet approved).
Novavax is struggling with 3 key things: biobags, media, and filters. @halhod

Novavax is doing its best to operate its lines at "full cadence". But when they have missing items the lines have to shut down.
For the UK they are "weeks" behind where they would have been had they had all the raw materials needed.
