Brazil to suspend vaccine deal with India as graft allegations probed

Brazil will suspend a $324 million Indian vaccine contract that has mired President Jair Bolsonaro in accusations of irregularities, the health minister said on Tuesday, following the guidance of the federal comptroller, the CGU.
The deal to buy 20 million doses of Bharat Biotech's Covaxin shot has become a headache for Mr. Bolsonaro after whistleblowers went public with concerns over irregularities. One Health Ministry official said he personally alerted the president about this concerns.
