There have been no vaccine exports from India since Thursday, the foreign ministry's website shows, as the country expands its own immunisation effort. Unicef, the UN children's agency that is procuring and distributing vaccines for Covax, had no comment. It did not specify the origin of those delays, though Vietnam was not expected to receive doses from the SII.
Currently, only the elderly and those over 45 with other health conditions are eligible for vaccinations in India. Health and front-line workers were first in line when India began its drive in mid-January.
