Centre’s revised policy has more than doubled the population of potential beneficiaries without immediate provisions for the extra doses needed

India is likely to face extreme shortages of Covid-19 vaccines if all adults eligible for vaccination begin queuing up for the jabs from May 1, health and industry experts have said.

The Centre’s revised vaccination policy has more than doubled the population of potential vaccine beneficiaries without immediate provisions for the extra doses needed, the experts said.

“It is scary… where are the doses India would require at this scale?” asked a top vaccine industry executive.

“There’ll be a bit of madness for some time, then things will settle down,” added the industry executive who requested anonymity.

The April 19 decision to widen the vaccination net  from the current 45 years or older to all adults has, experts said, increased the number of the eligible beneficiaries from around 350 million to 900 million.

India currently has access to about 70 million doses per month of the Serum Institute of India’s Covishield and about 20 million doses per month of Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin, according to health officials and industry analysts.
