endIndex: (CNN)  In India, the world s biggest vaccine producer, millions of people are waiting for Covid-19 vaccines amid a devastating second wave of infections. India typically produces more than 60% of all vaccines sold globally, and is home to the Serum Institute of India (SII), the world s largest vaccine maker. Its vast manufacturing capability is why the country signed on as a major player in COVAX, the global vaccine-sharing initiative that provides discounted or free doses for lower-income countries. Under the initial agreement announced last year, SII would manufacture up to 200 million doses for up to 92 countries. But the situation in India is markedly different from just a few months ago. Its second wave began in March, quickly surpassing the first, which had peaked last September at more than 97,000 coronavirus cases a day.
