On why there is no light at the end of India's vaccine tunnel.
1. The affidavit filed by the Centre in the SC today states (h/t livelaw.com)
The Centre says that the current total monthly capacities of the three current vaccine suppliers is 85.03 m doses.
2. What does this imply for the ongoing vaccination drive?
Breaking capacities down to total daily doses enables enables comparison with what we need and where we stand. Daily capacities (million doses):
SII - 2.17 m
BBIL - 0.67 m
Sputnik - 0.01 m
Total - 2.85 m

3. Compare this to the vaccination rates in early April when the 7-day moving avg peaked at about 3.7 m doses per day. The shortfall NOW is about 25 %.
4. Today’s affidavit states that capacities are due to expand by JULY 2021 as follows. To cut through the bluster, let us talk million daily doses:
SII - 2.33-3.33 m/day
BBIL - 1.83 m/day
Sputnik - 0.4 m/day
Total - 4.56-5.56 m/day
SII - 2.33-3.33 m/day
BBIL - 1.83 m/day
Sputnik - 0.4 m/day
Total - 4.56-5.56 m/day
5. There has been great variability in what companies have been claiming abt capacities and what is coming out of their factories. Given this, and given the NaMo Govt’s failure to articulate clearly makes even these capacities suspect.
6. Both BBIL and SII have been claiming capacities far above what has been hitherto reported., But reality is catching up!
