World’s top vaccine maker India criticised at home for exports as infections rise
The Congress party in India criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government for exporting almost double the amount of coronavirus vaccine doses than the number of immunizations administered domestically, despite a rise in cases. India, the world's largest vaccine producer, has gifted or sold 59 million of its own vaccines compared to the 33 million doses given to its citizens since the start of the vaccination campaign in mid-January. Despite some wealthy countries being accused of vaccine nationalism, India has been praised internationally for sending shots to 71 countries, mainly the AstraZeneca vaccine and some of Bharat Biotech's homegrown product.0
