India likely to get at least 4 new Covid-19 vaccines by end of 2021

Currently, three Covid-19 vaccines are being administered in Inda- Covishield, Covaxin and Sputnik V. But the country has many other Covid-19 vaccines in the pipeline. By the end of this year, India is likely to have about half a dozen vaccines against coronavirus. This will reduce the gap between supply and demand and also bring down the prices. The new vaccines that are currently in the pipeline includes Covovax being produced by SII; HGC019, India’s first mRNA Covid-19 vaccine produced by Gennova Biopharmaceuticals, Pune;  Bharat Biotech’s nasal vaccine, and more.
