Brazil sends plane to India to import 2 million COVID-19 vaccine doses
New Delhi, Jan 14: Brazil has sent a plane to India to import 2 million doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine that is being manufactured by Serum Institute of India.
The
plane
will
begin
the
return
trip
on
Saturday,
Health
Minister
Eduardo
Pazuello
said.
Last
week,
Brazilian
President
Jair
Bolsonaro
had
written
to
PM
Narendra
Modi
to
expedite
the
shipment
of
coronavirus
vaccines.
The documentation for bringing in the vaccines, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India, is ready, said Pazuello.
The vaccine can be distributed only after federal health regulator Anvisa grants permission for its emergency use, Pazuello added.
The Brazilian government is under pressure amid the slow pace of the country's vaccine rollout. Inoculations have yet to begin in Latin America's largest country and Anvisa not yet approved any vaccine for use.

Brazil's Anvisa scheduled a meeting for next Sunday to decide on the emergency use of the vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford as well as one by developed by China's Sinovac Biotec.
