Only 1 in 11 gets Covaxn as Bharat Biotech falls short of production targets

由于巴拉特生物技术公司的产量未能达到目标，只有1 / 11的人接种了Covaxn疫苗

MUMBAI: Homegrown Covaxn was to play a major role in vaccination against Covid-19. But eight months after the vaccination drive began, only one in 11 Indians has managed to get the first indigenous vaccine. Bharat Biotech, which manufactures it, has failed to ramp up production at the pace it had envisaged.

孟买：印度国产Covaxn将在新冠疫苗接种中发挥重要作用。但在疫苗接种运动开始8个月后，只有1 / 11的印度人接种的第一针疫苗是这款本土疫苗。该疫苗的制造商巴拉特生物技术公司(Bharat Biotech)未能按照计划提高产量。

Stymied by shortages of drug substance and filling capacity, the Hyderabad-based company has repeatedly fallen short of the target it had set for itself. In between, it also saw a batch of its vaccine face quality issues.

由于原料药的短租和灌装能力的不足，这家总部位于海德拉巴的公司屡次未能达到为自己设定的目标。在此期间，该公司还发现其一批疫苗存在质量问题。

Its CMD Krishna Ella recently said the company would supply 5.5 crore doses from October, from the exsting 3.5 crore doses-- substantially lower than the initially-expected 10 crore.

该公司的CMD Krishna Ella最近表示，该公司将从10月份开始供应5500万剂疫苗，而现有的供应剂量为3500万剂，大大低于最初预期的1亿剂。

In May, in an affidavit before the Supreme Court, the Centre had projected that 55 crore doses of Covaxn -- or an average of 10 crore monthly doses, would be available during August-December. A month later, this was slashed by 20% to eight crore. However, the monthly capacity for August and September is far lower.

今年5月，印度政府在最高法院的一份宣誓书中预测，8月至12月期间将提供5.5亿剂Covaxn疫苗，平均每月1亿剂。一个月后，这一数字下降了20%，降到8000万。然而，8月和9月的月度产能要低得多。

This puts a question mark on the company's ability to boost production and supply the numbers as per its commitment. Interestingly, there has been a huge mismatch in the capacity projected both by the company and government, and what has been supplied so far.

这给该公司按照承诺提高产量和供应能力打上了问号。有趣的是，该公司和政府预测的产能和目前供应的产能存在巨大的差距。

Queries sent by TOI to the company on September 24 seeking details of its capacity remained unanswered.

9月24日，《印度时报》向该公司发出询问，寻求其产能的细节，但未收到回复。

Concerns around the supply of Covaxn have persisted over the last few months, with Serum Institute-manufactured Covishield accounting for over 90% of all vaccines administered. About one crore daily doses are required to vaccinate the entire 94 crore eligible population by December 31.

在过去几个月里，对Covaxn疫苗供应的担忧一直存在，血清研究所生产的Covishield占所有接种疫苗的90%以上。要在12月31日之前为全部9.4亿可接种人口接种疫苗，每天需要大约完成1000万剂疫苗的接种。

Rather than blaming BJP, find out out who is stop them from geting raw materials and fire the manager

Estimated Vaccine numbers were exaggerated by Bjpee to cover up for their mistake of sending abroad many vaccines.

预计的疫苗产量被人民党夸大了，为了掩盖他们把疫苗出口到国外的错误。

Impose heavy penalties on the highly inefficient Bharat Biotech for inordinate delay in a project of national and global importance to beat the pandemic.

Thanks to the increase in production of Serum Institute we somehow survived the possible third wave.

多亏了血清研究所增加产量， 我们才能挺过可能爆发的第三波疫情。

Vikas

First focus should be to get it approved by WHO.... Once done, only then this should be administered... We dont even know why it is not getting approved.... if quality is not up to the mark then lets focus on improving it.... if it is due to pharma politics by US, diplometic channels should be used.

重点应该是获得世卫组织的批准....获批了才能接种……我们甚至不知道为什么它没有获得批准....如果质量没有达到标准，那就努力改进....如果是美国从中作梗，那就应该利用外交渠道解决。

Covaxn was promoted by Modi under favours to BJP. That company was never going to be able to produce sufficient doses. Even the efficacy is fake. The health of crores of Indians was compromised by this megalomaniac.
