US President Joe Biden has said in the Global Summit on Corona that with the partnership of Quad (USA, India, Australia, Japan), 100 million vaccine doses will be prepared in India by 2022. With this, the vaccine will be supplied worldwide.
“At present nothing is more important than defeating corona. We are working with the partner countries and manufacturers to increase their capabilities to make safe and effective vaccines, Quad is an example,” Joe Biden said.
Along with helping to increase vaccine manufacturing in South Africa, financial assistance is also being given. At the same time, work is also going on to prepare 500 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine for Africa by next year.
Biden also announced that the US is buying 500 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine to donate the vaccine to the world’s poor and middle-income countries. These will be shipped to different countries by next year. In this way, America will fulfill its promise to donate 1.1 billion vaccines. America has so far given about 160 million vaccine doses to 100 countries.
In March 2021, the Quad countries (India, America, Japan and Australia) took the initiative to build a vaccine supply chain to deal with the corona epidemic in the Indo-Pacific region. Under this, the vaccine formula will be developed in America, manufacturing will take place in India, Japan-US will provide financial assistance and Australia will provide logistic support in vaccine supply.
