Biggest share of Indian-made vaccines for UN drive stays in India

Largest allocation of doses India supplied to COVAX scheme for poor nations never actually left the country, data shows.
India itself has received more than one-third of the nearly 28 million Indian-made AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine doses delivered so far by the global programme for poor countries, according to data from UNICEF and a source. The revelation that most of the doses India supplied to the COVAX programme never actually left the country could add to criticism of India and COVAX after New Delhi decided this month to delay big exports of vaccines that poor countries around the world had been counting on. Data on UNICEF’s website shows that India received 10 million doses of vaccine from COVAX, the most of any country. Nigeria is second with about 4 million doses. Many poor nations entirely reliant on the programme have so far received few to no vaccines.
