The pharmacy of the world is running short of vaccines to inoculate its own population against the deadly coronavirus which is ravaging the country in a second wave.&nbsp;Where did things go wrong for India on the vaccine front?
Despite a big promise and allocation during this year's budget, India did not secure enough vaccines.&nbsp;According to an ET report, the Indian govt initially ordered only 21 million doses, followed by 110 million in March.
Clearly inadequate, given that India has nearly 1.4 billion people.&nbsp;And while the govt didn't stock up, it was exporting the vaccine to the world from the beginning of this year, ignoring warning from experts and scientists' groups that may be on way back with vengeance in the country after the first wave ebbed.
6.6 crore doses of made-in-India vaccine were exported to a total of 95 countries under the "Vaccine Maitri" initiative since January. Out of these, 1.6 crore doses were given for free to various low-income countries.
The SII was expected to deliver the first 100 million doses between February and May - but government data shows that it has so far delivered only 30 million, including 10 million set aside for India itself under Covax.
India's inoculations drive which started on January 16 has remained painfully sluggish.&nbsp;Only 2% of the population has got both the shots till now and 12% people have got at least one jab.&nbsp;
The drive to vaccinate all adults from May 1 has also fumbled due to shortage of vaccine. States after states have complained that the vaccine makers have asked them to wait. In fact, only 1.83 million doses were given under the vaccine drive in the country on May 1, which is one of the lowest in many days.
Serum Institute of India chief Adar Poonawalla told the Financial Times that the vaccine crunch is going to last July when he expects SII to ramp up the production to 100 million doses a day.

Explained: What went wrong with India's Covid vaccination strategy

India started its vaccine drive in January, amid plummeting cases and a lot of optimism. But three months on, Covid cases and deaths are spiking across the country. What's worse, vaccine stocks in the country have nearly dried up, and no-one is sure when more will arrive. How did India get here?

&nbsp;
Where did things go wrong for India on the vaccine front...&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Byte: Nirmala Sitharaman from Budget: 35,000 crore for vaccination...&nbsp;
&nbsp;
SUPER: Just 2% of India&rsquo;s 1.4 bn people vaccinated till May 2&nbsp;
Despite this big promise and allocation during this year's budget... just about 2% of India&rsquo;s population has been vaccinated as of 2nd&nbsp;May this year.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
((added VO))&nbsp;
&nbsp;
SUPER: Centre has rubbished claims of inadequate vaccine orders&nbsp;
The Centre has rubbished various media reports claiming that the govt did not place adequate orders for vaccines with Bharat Biotech and the Serum Institute.&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt says advance payments made to SII for doses for May-July&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt: Order for 10 crore doses placed earlier, got only 8.74 crore doses&nbsp;
The govt in a press release clarified that an advance payment of ₹1732.50 crore was released to Serum Institute of India (SII) on April 28 for 11 crore doses of Covishield vaccine during May, June and July; and against the last order of 10 crore doses of the Covishield vaccine, 8.74 crore doses have been delivered by SII till May 3.&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt: Paid Bharat Biotech in advance for 5 crore Covaxin doses for May-July&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt: Bharat Biotech gave 0.8 crore doses against an earlier order of 2 crore doses&nbsp;
For Covaxin, the govt said a payment of ₹787.50 crore on April 28 to Bharat Biotech India Ltd for 5 crore Covaxin doses during May, June and July. Against a previous order of 2 crore Covaxin doses, just 0.88 crore doses have been delivered till May 3.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
((added VO)) So where are the gaps?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt is facing flak for exporting vaccines before inoculating its own people&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt exported vaccines despite warnings from experts on a Covid resurgence&nbsp;
(changed VO)) Among the biggest criticisms of the govt is the fact that India was exporting the vaccine to the world from the beginning of this year, ignoring warning from experts and scientists' groups that may be on way back with vengeance in the country after the first wave ebbed.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
6.6 crore doses of made-in-India vaccine were exported to a total of 95 countries under the "Vaccine Maitri" initiative since Jan... Out of these, 1.6 crore doses were given for free to various low-income countries&nbsp;

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt: Till May 2, Centre gave 16.54 crore vaccine free doses to states&nbsp;
&nbsp;
SUPER: Govt: 56 lakh additional vaccine doses will be given to states in 3 days&nbsp;
&nbsp;
((added vo)) Meanwhile the govt maintains that as of 2nd May 2021, the Centre has provided over 16.54 crore vaccine doses to states/UTs free of cost and more than 78 lakh doses are still available with the States/UTs waiting to be administered. An additional 56 Lakh doses will be handed to the states in the next 3 days.&nbsp;
