Covaxin has reached 30 cities in 30 days: Bharat Biotech

India is trying to step up the vaccination drive as it fights a deadly second Covid wave. Many states are looking at global tender route to meet the shortfall in required doses. The drug regulator has cleared one more vaccine. It is Russia's Sputnic V. Bharat Biotech has informed that new shipments of Covaxin have reached 30 cities in the past 30 days. Suchitra Ella, co-founder of the Hyderabad-based firm, in a tweet has said that Bharat Biotech is looking at ramping up the production of the homegrown Covaxin with another plant in Gujarat. The firm plans to "produce 200 million doses of Covaxin per annum" in the facilities already operational.
