He said that to meet the growing demand for COVID-19 vaccines, the Center should order all pharma companies to make vaccines as India Biotech has agreed to share the covaxin formula with other firms.
The Delhi CM has also told that some foreign countries have accumulated more COVID vaccines and the Modi government should request them to give a surplus vaccine to India.
He also advised the Central government to buy COVID-19 vaccines from foreign countries within 24 hours and distribute them among states.
“Foreign companies should be allowed to produce vaccines in India,” said Arvind Kejriwal.
