Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla takes COVID vax shot
In an interesting, yet powerful graphic depiction, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for dispatching around two million doses of Covishield COVID-19 vaccines.
Being the second on the list next only to the United States, Brazil has reported some 86,99,814 cases of Covid-19 and 2,14,228 deaths so far.
There are some 92 countries, which had approached India for Covid-19 vaccines after reports published that the domestically developed ones showed negligible side-effects since the massive immunization drive in the country last week. Brazil was one among them who had reportedly sent a special plane to pick up Covishield vaccines from Mumbai airport earlier today.

In parallel, Brazil’s private clinics struck a preliminary deal for an alternative injection made by India’s Bharat Biotech despite a lack of public results from late-stage trials.
The scramble by Brazil’s government and private sector underscored how Latin America’s largest nation, once an example of mass immunisation success in the developing world, has fallen behind peers in the race to inoculate against the coronavirus.
