- The immediate supply of 20 million doses of the Astra Zeneca vaccine could be treated as a borrowing, with the industry proposing that India may return the doses at a later date in the year as the production here stabilizes "A creative proposal we have is on the Astra Zeneca vaccines. Our proposal was that 20 million doses could be (immediately) sent to India as a gift and that these could be returned by India later in the year," Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of the US India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), which has been working with the US government and corporate sector to extend Covid 19 support said.
- The industry leader said that the proposal has been shared with the US government and he is hopeful that it would be processed at the earliest. As reported by ET, the US is set to provide the vaccine doses to India but a timeline is yet to be specified.
