India to send 8 million COVID19 jabs overseas in October, ending vaccine export ban

India will export 8 million coronavirus vaccine jabs by the end of October after ending its ban on sending doses abroad, a top foreign ministry official said Saturday.

Foreign secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla told reporters on Saturday that most of the 8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson single-shot vaccine will be sent to Asia-Pacific countries. India is one of the world's biggest vaccine producers and had pledged earlier this year to export 1 billion COVID-19 jabs by December 2022. India lifted its vaccine export ban this week with new COVID-19 infections and deaths slowing down.
