Biocon Executive Chairman Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has expressed concern over the shortage of COVID-19 vaccines. She stated that maybe these vaccines are just lying in the warehouse rather than reaching people. She feels this lacuna can only be addressed by bringing in better transparency.

There is a shocking revelation hidden in the government of India’s affidavit to the Supreme Court in the suo moto writ petition in the matter of “Re: Distribution of Essential Supplies and Services During Pandemic”. Contrary to the widely held belief, state governments can directly purchase only 25% of the total vaccine production after May 1. The Centre’s public stance till now has deliberately been misleading.
