India to ship vaccines to neighbours in few weeks

印度将在几周内将新冠疫苗发往邻国

NEW DELHI: India plans to ship off doses of Covid vaccine to its neighbours as part of its vaccine diplomacy in a couple of weeks.

新德里：作为疫苗外交的一部分，印度计划在几周内向邻国发运新冠病毒疫苗。

The first destinations would be in India’s immediate neighbourhood, like Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Maldives and Mauritius to help them kickstart their own vaccination processes against the coronavirus. The first shipments would be a goodwill gesture, while subsequently, the countries concerned would get on a payment basis from either the Serum Institute or Bharat Biotech.

第一批目的地将是印度的近邻，如尼泊尔、不丹、孟加拉国、缅甸、斯里兰卡、阿富汗、马尔代夫和毛里求斯，以帮助这些国家启动防疫接种程序。首批发运是为了表示一种善意的姿态，之后这些国家可从血清研究所或巴拉特生物技术公司购买获得疫苗。

India started its own Covid vaccination drive on Saturday, with almost 1.9 lakh people getting inoculated on the first day.

周六印度启动了本国的新冠疫苗接种运动，第一天就有近19万人接种了疫苗。

Nepal is the latest to ask for Covid vaccines from the government. Myanmar government declared they had signed up with Serum Institute for vaccines as has Bangladesh. Foreign minister S Jaishankar promised the Sri Lankan leadership India would make vaccines available to them too.

尼泊尔是最新一个要求印度政府给新冠疫苗的国家。缅甸和孟加拉国已与血清疫苗研究所签署了协议。印度外交部长苏杰生向斯里兰卡领导人承诺，印度也会向他们提供疫苗。

Government sources said, countries would not be charged much more than Indians are paying for the vaccines even when they do have to pay for the doses. The key is to ensure that India has enough for its own needs before allowing exports of these vaccines.

政府消息人士称，即使这些国家需要支付疫苗费用，他们的费用也不会比印度人支付的费用高太多。关键是在允许出口这些疫苗之前，政府应当确保印度有足够的疫苗满足自己的需求。

Foreign countries can draw up purchase deals with the two companies concerned, but officials said these are generally being done between government health entities and the companies. So Brazil’s Fiocruz Institute has signed a deal with Serum Institute. So have other countries — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, South Africa among others. The only catch is, they need export clearance from the Indian government first.

外国可以与两家印度疫苗公司签署采购协议，这些协议通常是在外国政府卫生部门与这些公司之间达成的。比如，巴西Fiocruz研究所与血清研究所签署了一项协议。其他国家也是如此——比如阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯、摩洛哥、南非等等。唯一的问题是，首先需要获得印度政府的出口许可。
