Bharat Biotech to donate 2 lakh Covaxin doses to Vietnam
Hyderabad: Bharat Biotech announced on Thursday that it will donate two lakh doses of its Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin to Vietnam.
The announcement was made by Hyderabad-based company's Joint Managing Director Suchitra Ella at a function hosted by the southeast Asian country's National Assembly President Vuong Dinh Hue in New Delhi.
This donation represents a gesture of goodwill to provide access to Bharat Biotech's WHO approved, indigenously-developed Covaxin to fight the Covid-19 pandemic across borders, the vaccine maker said.
Covaxin has already received EUL in Vietnam. Bharat Biotech was invited by the Embassy of Vietnam for a one-on-one meeting with the President of the National Assembly, to discuss avenues of cooperation, supplies, and technology transfer possibilities.
Ella said that it's an honour for them to serve the Vietnam and wishes that the Covaxin contribution will help boost up the country's national vaccination programme and recovery from the pandemic.
