India, which is experiencing a sudden rise in number of COVID-19 cases, is now likely to make available a smaller number of vaccines to the rest of the world, the head of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation has said.“India is, by volume, the largest supplier of vaccines for the developing world. Because of the new wave of outbreaks in India right now, the Indian government has stepped up their vaccination programmes, and that has meant that they’ve required more doses, which means that they’ve made less doses available for the rest of the world,” Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi told CBS News in an interview.

“We had expected, in March and April, about 90 million doses, and we suspect we’ll get much, much less than that, and that is a problem,” he said.
Gavi Alliance is a public-private partnership that works to provide vaccines for developing countries. It provides about 50 per cent of the world’s children with vaccines.

“But we’re in a race because we also see wealthy countries beginning to cover much of their population. Our hope is that they will begin to make their vaccines available to the rest of the world, including ones that they may not use. For example, the US not only has Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J, but they also have vaccines from Novavax and, of course, from AstraZeneca,” Berkley said.
