Gavi Alliance

Leaders of the global scheme aiming to get COVID-19 vaccines to the world's poorest are pushing manufacturers,including Pfizer and Moderna, to cut or slow deliveries of about half a billion shots so doses are not wasted.

The Gavi vaccine alliance is in talks with Bharat Biotech over potential procurement of the company's Covaxin COVID-19 shot for the COVAX global vaccine distribution programme, a Gavi spokesperson told news agency Reuters on Thursday.

The GAVI vaccine alliance hopes the Serum Institute of India (SII) will resume exports of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine from this quarter, it told Reuters, which would be earlier than an "end of this year" forecast by the Indian company.

US has so far contributed $2 billion to GAVI for COVAX facility, a global risk-sharing mechanism for pooled procurement and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.

Gavi, a global alliance on vaccines, on Friday said that India would receive between 190 and 250 million fully subsidised doses of COVID-19 vaccine and funds up to USD 30 million for urgent technical assistance and cold chain equipment.

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.

Pakistan will soon get 'made-in-India' coronavirus vaccinesunder the United Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization or GAVI, a public-private global health partnership to increase access to immunisation in poor countries.

Serum Institute of India said on Friday it would receive $150 million in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the GAVI vaccines alliance to make 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses for India and other emerging economies as early as 2021.

The international vaccine alliance Gavi has facilitated a new drive aimed at securing doses of COVID-19 vaccines for 92 low and middle-income countries and economies, including India, at the same time as wealthier nations.

Coordinators of a global coronavirus vaccines funding scheme are looking at a wide range of potential prices for COVID-19 shots, with a reported $40 per dose price tag the "highest number" in that range, one of the co-leads of the project said on Monday.

India on Thursday pledged USD 15 million to the international vaccine alliance Gavi, the Prime Minister's Office said.

The social media platform TikTok and the philanthropic Gates Foundation donated $10 million (roughly Rs. 75 crores) each on Wednesday to the vaccine alliance GAVI to help fund efforts to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa.

Indian patent office grants Pfizer a patent for their pneumonia vaccine Prevnar 13. Though Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF), a non-profit health group had filed the patent opposition to prevent Pfizer from getting its pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV 13) patented.
