India’s Vaccine Diplomacy Wins Friends in the Caribbean Bloomberg 2/21/2021 Jim Wyss © Bloomberg An employee monitors vials of Covishield on the production line at the Serum Institute of India Ltd. Hadaspar plant in Pune, Maharashtra, India. (Bloomberg) India is making tens of thousands of free Covid-19 shots available to Caribbean countries left behind by rich nations in the race to procure vaccines. The Indian-made shots offer poorer countries an alternative to Chinese vaccines, which Beijing has been pushing across the region. India’s Foreign Ministry says it plans to supply vaccines mostly free of charge to 49 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa. So far, the country has distributed 22.9 million doses under its “Vaccine Friendship” program.
