NEW DELHI, Sept 25 (Bloomberg): India will make 8 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine available by the end of October under the Quad Partnership, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said. The Quad countries will pay for the vaccine and India will bear a certain share of the cost, he said. It would be compatible with our decision to resume vaccine export,” Shringla told reporters. Home to the world’s largest vaccine-manufacturing industry, India deferred exports in early April after a surge in delta variant infections began to sweep through the country. The Quad countries have promised to donate 1.2 billion doses of vaccines globally.
