India delays Covid-19 vaccine supplies to WHO-backed COVAX, sources say

One of the sources said it was "frustrating" that India had yet to confirm any supply to COVAX, despite a promise by the health minister last month to meet the commitment to COVAX and others during the quarter to December.

India has delayed committing supplies of vaccine to the COVAX global sharing effort, two sources told Reuters on Tuesday, a day after one of its key backers, the World Health Organisation (WHO), said the agency could not "cut corners" to approve a domestically developed vaccine.
