India likely to approve AstraZeneca vaccine by next week

印度或于下周批准使用阿斯利康新冠疫苗

NEW DELHI: India is likely to approve Oxford/AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine for emergency use by next week after its local manufacturer submitted additional data sought by authorities, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

新德里：两位知情人士周二对路透社表示，在印度生产商提交了有关部门要求的额外数据后，印度可能在下周之前批准牛津-阿斯利康新冠疫苗用于紧急使用。

This could be the first country to give the regulatory green light for the British drugmaker’s vaccine as the British medicine regulator continues to examine data from the trials.

在英国药品监管机构继续审查试验数据之际，英国或成为第一个给英国制药商研发的疫苗开监管绿灯的国家。

India, the world’s biggest vaccine-making country, wants to start inoculating its citizens next month and is also considering emergency use authorisation applications for vaccines made by Pfizer Inc and local company Bharat Biotech.

印度是世界上最大的疫苗生产国，希望从下个月开始为国民接种疫苗，同时也在考虑为辉瑞公司和印度巴拉特生物技术公司生产的疫苗授予紧急使用许可。

Getting vaccines to the world’s second-most populous country with one of the highest infection rates will also be a big step in the battle against the pandemic.

向世界上人口第二多、感染率最高的国家之一提供疫苗，是抗击疫情的一大步。

The AstraZeneca-Oxford shot is considered vital for lower-income countries and those in hot climates because it is cheaper, easier to transport and can be stored for long periods at normal fridge temperatures.

阿斯利康-牛津疫苗对低收入国家和气候炎热的国家至关重要，这种疫苗更便宜，更容易运输，可以在正常的冰箱温度下长时间储存。

India's Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) first reviewed the three applications on Dec. 9 here and sought more information from all the companies, including from Serum Institute of India (SII), which is making the AstraZeneca shots.

印度中央药物标准控制组织(CDSCO)于12月9日首次审查了这三家公司的申请，并要求公司提供更多信息，包括生产阿斯利康疫苗的印度血清研究所(SII)。

India has not yet signed a vaccine supply deal with any company, but SII has already stockpiled more than 50 million doses of the AstraZeneca shot and plans to make a total of 400 million doses by July.

印度尚未与任何公司签署疫苗供应协议，但印度血清研究所已经储备了超过5000万剂阿斯利康疫苗，并计划到7月生产总计4亿剂疫苗。

报告称印度的感染率最高，这是一个谎言。印度的感染率远低于美国和英国。

可以给贫困人口免费接种疫苗，但不要给那些每月能在酒店消费2000卢比以上的人免费接种。

我们研制不出本土疫苗，我们印度对疫苗不感兴趣，对寺庙更感兴趣…

With only 62% efficacy , this is not preferred...Better wait for Covaxn/Covishield which is supposed to have 90% efficacy...

These are likely to come within a month or so.

阿斯利康疫苗的有效性只有62%，不是首选……最好等Covaxn/Covishield疫苗，有效性应该能达到90%…可能还要一个月左右

Ravi Nair

Why has this vaccine not been approved anywhere in the world? Because it's efficacy and safety data is dubious! Serum Institute Lobby is pushing to get this vaccine approved in India since they have a huge number of doses lying useless in there warehouse! God save us from this wrath!

为什么其他国家都没有批准使用这种疫苗?

因为其疗效和安全性数据可疑!

血清研究所的游说团体正在极力促成这种疫苗在印度获得批准，他们有大量疫苗堆在仓库里!
