CII partners with Serum Institute to expand vaccination across small towns, rural areas across India

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has partners with Serum Institute of India to expand Covid vaccination drive to target communities in small towns and rural areas in India.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has signed an agreement with Pune's Serum Institute of India (SII) to accelerate Covid-19 vaccination across the country -- in partnership with the industry, including healthcare providers. The vaccination drive will target communities in small towns and rural areas in India. "India's post-pandemic growth critically rests on how soon the eligible population is vaccinated and economic activities return to normal. The CII aims to connect the community, hospitals and corporates to fast-track vaccination, and the partnership with the Serum Institute will help catalyze industry participation to reach out to communities at large," CII president TV Narendran.
