Government may buy 50 million Pfizer Covid vaccine doses by Q3

到第三季度，印度政府或购买5000万支辉瑞新冠疫苗

NEW DELHI: The government and Pfizer are in “high-level” discussions that could see the pharma giant sell 50 million of its Covid vaccine doses in India by the third quarter of this year with the current negotiations pointing to a successful conclusion.

新德里：印度政府和辉瑞正在进行“高层”讨论，预计到今年第三季度，制药巨头辉瑞或向印度出售5000万剂新冠疫苗。目前的谈判表明，交易将达成。

Top government officials are believed to have negotiated availability of these vaccines in a series of meetings with senior Pfizer executives with the main hurdle being the firm’s insistence of indemnity that will shield it from legal action in India. While the nature of an agreement on this contentious issue is not yet clear, senior officials said the issue and other matters will be made clear in due course.

据信，印度高层官员在与辉瑞高管的一系列会议中就疫苗的供应进行了谈判，主要障碍是该公司坚持要求获得保障，以避免在印度受到法律诉讼。虽然在这个有争议的问题上达成协议的性质尚不清楚，但高级官员表示，将在适当时候解释该问题和其他事项。

The vaccines will be available for purchase by government only for its Covid immunisation programme. Pfizer vaccines are fairly expensive but there is a growing demand for expanding the pool of vaccines available for the population in addition to the shots being made in India.

这些疫苗将由政府购买，只用于新冠免疫计划。辉瑞疫苗相当昂贵，除了印度生产的疫苗外，对扩大疫苗储备的需求也在不断增长。

State governments like UP, Maharashtra and others have announced that they are floating global tenders for vaccine makers to sell their shots here. However, there are not too many free stocks available and the results of this exercise need to be seen even as officials said they will work with states to see what best can be done.

北方邦、马哈拉施特拉邦等邦政府已经宣布，他们正在全球范围内招标疫苗生产商，以便他们在印度销售疫苗。然而，免费库存并不多，尽管官员们表示，他们将与各邦合作，看看最好的办法是什么。

The current surge of the Covid pandemic in India has sharpened the demand for mass vaccinations.

目前印度病例激增，加大了对大规模疫苗接种的需求。

There are a lot of people who can afford costly vaccines and want them. Why didn't the government give permission to them anyway to sell their vaccines in india?
