NEW DELHI: India has resumed a small amount of exports of COVID-19 vaccines and will increase exports significantly in the next few months as domestic stocks build up and most of its own large population is inoculated, officials said on Wednesday .

Vaccines have also been sent to Nepal, a government source said, adding that the effort is focused on neighbouring nations. But now that three-quarters of the adult population have had one shot and a third have had both shots, India is poised to play an important role in meeting foreign nations' vaccine requirements, said VK Paul, who heads the government's task force on COVID-19.

With a few other locally developed vaccines moving closer to production or clearing regulatory approvals, India is expected to be producing 300-320 million shots a month by early next year - more than the average 210 million doses it administers to its people each month, the officials said.

India recommends homemade COVID-19 vaccine for kids aged 2 and aboveBENGALURU (Reuters) -India on Tuesday recommended emergency use of Bharat Biotech's COVID-19 shot in children below 12 years of age, making the vaccine maker the first in the country to get such an approval after a review of its trial data for the 2-18 age-group. The decision comes as India shifts its focus to vaccinating children against the coronavirus, having already rolled out more than 950 million doses to adults among its population of nearly 1.4 billion. Bharat Biotech's Covaxin, which uses an inactivated coronavirus with an immunity booster, is among the three shots that are being used in India as part of the vaccination drive for adults. Erm, it’s an *indigenously developed* vaccine approved by India’s equivalent of FDA. Stop calling it ‘homemade’, people might get the impression it’s moonshine made in someone’s kitchen 😂 Reuters

Younger people are more susceptible to myocarditis after vaccination. Don't blame them. And you all mandate the use of a new technology that you have no idea what it does in the short/long term? Is that lawful? Very convincing that there's no vaccine induced death and injuries reported up till now as well.

U.S. FDA staff says Moderna did not meet all criteria for COVID-19 boosters(Reuters) -Scientists at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Tuesday that Moderna Inc had not met all of the agency's criteria to support use of booster doses of its COVID-19 vaccine, possibly because the efficacy of the shot's first two doses has remained strong. FDA staff said in documents that data for Moderna's vaccine showed that a booster does increase protective antibodies, but the difference in antibody levels before and after the shot was not wide enough, particularly in those whose levels had remained high. The documents were released ahead of a meeting later this week of the FDA's outside expert advisers to discuss booster doses of the vaccine.
