Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Asks Centre, Why Is India, Largest COVID Vaccine Manufacturer Facing Shortage?
Mumbai: Hitting out at the Centre for its management of the Covid19 vaccination process, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday, asks Why is India, one of the largest manufacturers of vaccines in the world, facing a scarcity today?
In a video she asks, “Why is India, one of the largest manufacturers of vaccines in the world facing a scarcity today? Why was the first order or vaccines by the government of India placed in January 2021 when other countries began placing their orders in the summer of 2020?”
She further asked, “Why did our government export six crore vaccines between January and March 2021 while vaccinating only 3.5 crore Indians during the same period of time. The government of India owes the people of India answers. We have to ask them questions and they have to answer us.”

Though, earlier in April, she had tweeted, “Shocking that while COVID ravages India, from being a vaccine exporter, it has been compelled to become a vaccine importer undoing 70 years of govt effort. @narendramodi: the pilot who had his photo plastered on boarding passes only to press the eject button during an emergency.”
Meanwhile, according to the Union Health Ministry, India has administered 20,26,95,874 doses of the Covid19 vaccines so far.
