Frankly, this is getting ridiculous. The centre is already doing everything to increase production along with the companies. I have already given detaills of 3 companies which will start producing covaxin in a few months. That can't be hurried up. Why? I have also shared a link previously about what happens when you hurry up this complex process. And the major issue is that there are not many who can produce it cause that needs BSL 3 lab setting which is very costly and time consuming and numbers in only few dozens in India. BSL 4 - only 4 or 5.
Covishield by SII - they are also doing everything to increase production. But the major setback has been the delay in novavax production. Here's the details for that delay -
The companies recognize the issue themselves -
Tech transfers, supply of materials must to scale up vaccine production: Bharat Biotech joint MD
Now apart from these two, another is local zycov-d which has completed phase 3 trials and is set to apply for emergency usage this month. Sputnik/Dr Reddy's has stated they will be ready by 20th of this month.
The real change will happen by end of August when Bio-e and Baylors vaccine will come in play as they can churn around 7Cr a month and at the same time Serum will exceed 10 Cr a month and BB crossing 5 Cr a month. This will be further augumented by smaller numbers from Sputnik, Cadila and J&J.
