Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine could reach India this week and be available in a few major government hospitals by July 15, ET reported quoting health officials.
While the mRNA-based vaccines developed by the US drugmaker may reach India this week only, the distribution to hospitals will take another week or so.
This is likely to make Moderna the fourth vaccine to be used in India after Covishield, Covaxin and Russia’s Sputnik V. Cipla who is still to share details of the import plan for private use will not need separate approval as and when it works out a commercial deal with Moderna.
