Serum In­sti­tute CEO, head of world's biggest vac­cine mak­er, says Covid shot pro­duc­tion was halt­ed in De­cem­ber

Tons of mon­ey, re­sources and con­struc­tion projects have been dumped in­to the pro­duc­tion of Covid-19 vac­cines, and when the Serum In­sti­tute of In­dia stepped up and pledged to pro­vide dos­es to low- and mid­dle-in­come coun­tries, it re­ceived praise from around the world.

But now, the CEO of the world’s largest vac­cine man­u­fac­tur­er said Fri­day that pro­duc­tion of the vac­cine has been halt­ed since De­cem­ber, when the com­pa­ny’s stock­pile hit the 200 mil­lion mark.
