Govt won't buy Pfizer, Moderna COVID-19 vaccines as local output jumps: Report

The Indian government will not buy COVID-19 shots from Pfizer and Moderna, Reuters reported on Tuesday citing three government sources. "This is mainly because the domestic output of more affordable and easier-to-store vaccines has jumped," the report added. The government also declined to meet the US companies' requests for legal protection over any side-effects from its shots, the report added.
