In this difficult time when the whole world has suffered from an unknown, invisible and unknowable virus COVID-19, India is ready to provide its cut to the world community. India, which has become the Corona vaccine, is running the world's largest vaccination campaign today. Not only this, along with the vaccination of Corona to Indians, India is also providing vaccines to many other countries.
Most of India's recipients are its neighbors and countries that are not relatively capable of bearing the huge cost of the vaccine. The countries receiving the vaccine are openly praising India, while organizations like United Nations, World Health Organization and UNICEF have also appreciated India's move.
General life and normal activities have been severely affected due to Covid-19. There is hardly any area of life that remains unaffected by this virus. The health structure of America and the resource-rich European countries, considered to be the world's largest superpower, also collapsed in front of this disaster. The entire world was seen helpless due to the rapid pace of infection of Corona virus and no treatment. The World Health Organization had estimated that it may take at least 2 years for the effective vaccination of Corona, but scientists made it possible in less than one year with their untiring efforts.

First, the American pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Moderna succeeded. For safe storage of the Pfizer vaccine, a minus 20 degree temperature was required for a minus 70 degree Tomodarna. It was a challenge to arrange such a temperature storage in a country with a large population like India where there is a huge need for vaccines. The high price of the vaccine was also a major hindrance in making it accessible. In such a situation, India has once again emerged as a ray of hope for the world as the vaccine produced here is effective as well as it is completely favorable for developing and developed countries in terms of price and storage.
On 20 January last, Air India special aircraft carrying one lakh Corona vaccines arrived at Maldives' Male International Airport, upon arrival Maldives President Mohammad Nasheed thanked India. Similarly, the Prime Minister of Nepal, PS Oli, also thanked the gift of vaccine sent by India. It is clear that this vaccine friendship of India is coming to the friendly countries. India is not only proving to be helpful in saving the lives of people in these countries, but is also not putting its economic burden on them. In the initial phase, India has made arrangements to deliver 50,000 vaccines to Seychelles, while Maldives and Mauritius are prepared to provide one lakh each, Bhutan 1.5 lakh, Nepal 10 lakh, Myanmar 1.5 million and Bangladesh 20 lakh vaccines. is. In the same sequence, on Thursday 28 January, a consignment of five lakh vaccines also reached Sri Lanka, accepting which President Gottabairajapakse expressed his gratitude to India on Twitter.
India is called the world's pharmacy anyway. India dominates the world in terms of generic medicines. The same can be said about various disease-resistant vaccines. 65 percent of the world's vaccines are made in India. In the case of Corona too, the Covishield of Oxford-AstraZeneca developed by the Serum Institute of India in India and the Covaxine of Bharat Biotech are proving to be true. It is in this belief that Oxford-AstraZeneca has contracted Serum to produce the largest batch of its vaccines. The Covid vaccine, on the other hand, is a fully developed indigenous vaccine in India. A study in the UK has proved that covaxine is proving effective even on new strains of Corona.
