it's not allowing US or Europe vaccine drug makers

they recently allowed russian vaccine sputnik

Two vaccine producers in India have raised concerns about their ability to meet their production targets.

 

The largest of these, SII - which produces Novavax and AstraZeneca vaccines - has warned of raw material shortages affecting production.

Its chief executive, Mr Poonawalla, attributed this to US export bans on specific items needed to make vaccines, such as specialised bags and filters.

 

The firm said it has also faced difficulties importing cell culture media, single-use tubing and specialised chemicals from the US.

"The sharing of these... raw materials is going to become a critical limiting factor — nobody has been able to address this so far," said Mr Poonawalla.

The SII had written to the Indian government in March asking it to intervene to ensure the uninterrupted manufacture and supply of vaccines globally.

Another Indian manufacturer, Biological E, which is producing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, has also raised concerns about possible shortages affecting vaccine production.

 

Mahima Datla, the company's chief executive, recently said US suppliers were "reluctant to commit that they will stick to their delivery timelines".

• India boosts Covid jab drive as cases rise
• India halts exports of AstraZeneca jab
• Where is the AstraZeneca vaccine made?

Why is US restricting supplies?

President Biden has asked his administration to identify potential shortfalls in materials required for vaccine production.

He has invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA), legislation from the 1950s which gives the US president powers to mobilise the domestic economy in response to emergencies.

The DPA allows the US to restrict the export of products which might be needed for domestic manufacturing.

The Biden administration said in February that it would use the act to increase the list of items that US vaccine makers would get priority access to, such as special pumps and filtration units.

 

• Export restrictions from key suppliers could affect global production
• Some items lack standardisation and are highly specialised
• Replacement with substitutes sourced from elsewhere could take up to 12 months

Dr Sarah Schiffling, an expert on vaccine supply chains at Liverpool's John Moores University, says the pharmaceutical supply chain is very complex.

"Even when demand is very high, new suppliers can't spring up as quickly as they would in some other industries, or at least those new suppliers would not be trusted."

She also says that the US measures are as much a reaction to existing global shortages, as they are the cause of them.

"To some degree, shortages would be unavoidable for materials needed for any kind of product that is suddenly in demand around the world," she says.

kada mari India lo manufacture chesthunna vaccines evaru export cheyamannru

export cheyyatam enti problem? vaccines vesko pothey, it gets wasted.

shortage ki exports ki sambandam ledhu. Its a purely because of lack of a solid vaccination plan.

janaalu veskopothey, they should create ways to make them take it. 

I think its very hard for people to understand in this idiotic forum. Govts job is not to be like some big puluthi (telugu word telidhu) just telling what people should do (like in lockdowns).. govt should build networks which can convince people to do certain things too.

obviously Modi govt thinks its beyond all this. like always, Modi is a disaster for India.

but its not because of exports.

Covisheid kavali ante vichala vidiga dorukuthondi telugu rastaralo.. Covaxin stock ledu yekkada.. COVAXIN manufacturing capacity is very less compared to serum institute. 
 

In my family some got covaxin some got Covisheild now if we go only covisheid is at offer every where.

blood clots ani antunaru not sure whats going on with covisheild.. I will get covaxin if I can at my turn.

most of these nationalist right wing morons have no clue what they do, other than riling up their base. bunch of sick fcuk psychos with no plan.

Modi oka lafoot vedhava. simple.

vaadu entha tvaraga sasthey antha manchidhi India ki. end of matter.

[Telugodura456]

How can there not be a vacccine shortage in a country like india ? it means there is no demand. and why is there no demand ? govt is not telling people or reaching out to them.
