PUNE: Twenty million doses of the Covishield vaccine, manufactured by the city-based Serum Institute of India, would be despatched from the Pune airport to various centres in the country over the next three days, starting Thursday.
“Initially, the vaccine transportation will happen in scheduled aircraft. This arrangement will continue for the next three days. The aircraft transporting the vaccine will be given preference over other aircraft,” an airport official who did not wish to be named told TOI.
The Pune airport officials held a meeting with different stakeholders for the vaccine transportation on Wednesday. Asked about the meeting, a Serum Institute of India spokesperson said, “No comment.”
