India has formed an expert committee comprising representatives from various ministries and institutions to oversee all aspects of its Covid-19 vaccine plan, the Hindustan Times has reported. The committee will oversee the identification of vaccine to buying to financing the purchase to distribution and administration. The move comes even as six vaccines are in Phase 3 or combined Phase 2-3 trials and as countries around the world scramble to strike deals with multiple vaccine makers. The report added that the panel will be led by Niti Aayog’s Dr VK Paul and co-chaired by health secretary Rajesh Bhushan. It will pick the vaccine or vaccines that India can use, plan the finances and prioritise the sequence of administration, the report said.
