The European Commission, on behalf of member states, has sealed deals with six companies for up to 2.3 billion vaccine doses. The BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are so far the only jabs authorised in the EU, but the vaccine jointly developed by Oxford and AstraZeneca is expected to be approved on Friday (29 January) by the European Medical Agency (EMA). With two doses per person needed for both authorised vaccines, the EU could vaccinate at least 380 million people - covering approximately 80 percent of the European population.

Congress seeks Covid vaccine free for poor

The Congress on Sunday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi whether the country’s citizens, particularly the poor, would receive the Covid-19 vaccine free and wondered why pharmaceutical companies were being allowed to profiteer in a time of distress. Party communications chief Randeep Surjewala was referring to reports that the Pune-based Serum Institute of India, which is manufacturing AstraZeneca’s Covishield in the country, would sell each dose of the two-dose vaccine in the market at Rs 1,000. “Serum Institute’s CEO Adar Poonawalla has said they will sell Covishield for Rs 1,000 per dose in the open market. They are selling the same to the government for Rs 200 per dose. Why has the Prime Minister allowed the company to create business opportunity in this crisis?” he asked.
