@pabsgill The #OxfordAstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has received the green stamp from #UK authorities for emergency use. It is expected to start rolling out the vaccine from January 4.

#CovidVaccine
@pabsgill This could spell good news for India, who has been keeping its eye on the #UK, while its own approval of the vaccine is pending.

#OxfordAstraZeneca #CovidVaccine
@pabsgill The Serum Institute of India (@SerumInstIndia) is hopeful that the India variant, called #COVISHIELD, will receive the required regulatory approval in a ‘few days’.

#OxfordAstraZeneca #CovidVaccine
@pabsgill @SerumInstIndia As compared to the #Pfizer and #Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, the #OxfordAstraZeneca vaccine is more suited to India’s cold storage infrastructure.

#AstraZeneca #CovidVaccine
@pabsgill @SerumInstIndia "We have 40-50 million doses of #Covishield stockpiled. Once we get regulatory approvals in a few days, it will be down to the government to decide how much they can take and how fast." said @SerumInstIndia CEO @adarpoonawalla during a press conference on Monday.
