Covid-19: Dispatch of Covishield for vaccine drive a historic moment, says Adar Poonawalla

Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India (SII), said that the dispatch of Covishield vaccines for the January 16 national inoculation drive was a "proud and historic" moment. The first consignment of the vaccines was transported to different locations across the country today. "Our trucks left the SII facility early morning and now the vaccine is being distributed in the entire country. This is a proud and historic moment as scientists, experts and all other stake-holders took great efforts while making this vaccine in less than a year," Poonawalla said.
