The Hindu
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday urged the Centre to grant permission to State-owned Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation Limited to manufacture COVID-19 vaccine.
At a virtual meeting of all the Chief Ministers that was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr. Thackeray also demanded that all those above 45 years should be vaccinated, irrespective of co-morbidities. He said the government was trying to ensure that three lakh citizens were vaccinated per day. “Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation can manufacture COVID-19 vaccine after technology transfer under Mission COVID-19 and under guidance of the ICMR. Or it can also work under fill and finish basis. In case of any option, it can produce 126 million doses,” he said.
