Announcement likely on vaccine production overseas
Serum chief flies to UK to escape 'threats' from CMs, corporates biggies
The level of expectation and aggression is unprecedented, says Poonawalla who's thinking of vaccine production overseas
Adar Poonawalla, chief executive officer, Serum Institute of India flew to Britain just before it banned travellers from India and says he plans an extended stay because of the threats he’s getting from chief ministers and other powerful Indian corporate leaders.
“Threats is an understatement,” Poonawalla told the Times, London, adding, “The level of expectation and aggression is really unprecedented. It’s overwhelming. Everyone feels they should get the vaccine. They can’t understand why anyone else should get it before them.”
