In a joint statement on behalf of the two companies, SII CEO Adar Poonawalla and Bharat Biotech Chairman and Managing Director Krishna Ella announced their combined intent to develop, manufacture and supply the Covid-19 vaccines for India and the world.<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Sanjhi Soch Beauro \u2013<\/strong>Aday after Bharat Biotech slammed Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla for his ‘water’ comment, both vaccine makers on Tuesday jointly pledged for a smooth rollout of the antidote, saying saving lives and livelihoods was the most important task at hand. In a joint statement posted on their respective Twitter accounts, the companies said Serum Institute CEO Poonawalla and Bharat Biotech Chairman Krishna Ella communicated their combined intent to develop, manufacture and supply the\u00a0Covid-19<\/span><\/span>\u00a0vaccines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vaccines were a global public health good and have the power to save lives and accelerate the return to economic normalcy at the earliest,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWe are fully aware of the importance of vaccines for the people and countries alike, we hereby communicate our joint pledge to provide global access for our\u00a0Covid-19<\/span><\/span>\u00a0vaccines,\u201d it said.The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) had on Sunday approved Oxford-AstraZeneca\u00a0Covid-19<\/span><\/span>\u00a0vaccine Covishield, manufactured by the Serum Institute, and Covaxin, manufactured by the Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech for restricted emergency use. \u201cNow that two\u00a0Covid-19<\/span><\/span>\u00a0vaccines have been issued emergency use authorisation in the country, the focus is on manufacturing, supply and distribution, such that people who need it the most receive high-quality, safe and efficacious vaccines,\u201d the two companies said.<\/p>\n

Both our companies are fully engaged in this activity and consider it our duty to the nation and the world at large to ensure a smooth roll out of vaccines. Each of our companies continue their\u00a0Covid-19<\/span><\/span>\u00a0vaccine development activities as planned,” the joint statement said.<\/p>\n

Without naming Poonawalla who had called vaccines other than that of Pfizer, Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines “just like water”, Krishna Ella on Monday in a media briefing slammed the Pune-based vaccine maker for the remarks. “We do 200 per cent honest clinical trials and yet we receive backlash. If I am wrong, tell me. Some companies have branded me like water,” Ella had said. Poonawalla on Tuesday tweeted that there would be a statement clearing up miscommunication with regard to Bharat Biotech.<\/p>\n

“I would like to clarify two matters; as there is confusion in the public domain, exports of vaccines are permitted to all countries and a joint public statement clearing up any recent miscommunication with regards to Bharat Biotech will be made,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
