Can India manufacture and supply the next-gen COVID-19 vaccines?

India's mettle in proving its dynamic health prowess got the global recognition due to the recent advent of two Made in India COVID vaccines that has proved to be the game changer for accelerating universal health coverage. Under the prolific leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India has not only just conducted a Massive COVID-19 Vaccination Drive for its frontline health services providers, doctors, health workers and paramedics, but also supplied free COVID vaccines to its neighbour countries as well as beyond subcontinental boarders. Amongst the list of countries who received COVID vaccines from India, Maldives, Bangladesh, Brazil etc. are the first fortunate receivers of India's free COVID vaccines campaign for health workers.

On a fact check basis, the points to consider here are:

(1) India's reliability and help to universal brotherhood and health have been proved. 

(2) Scientifically speaking, Indian COVID vaccines - Covaxin and Covishield, both are 100% safe in comparison with vaccines from other countries like China. No serious adverse effects have been reported till date by anyone after being vaccinated with these vaccine doses. Although number of deaths have been reported post-COVID vaccination, the detailed examinations proved no links to COVID vaccine side effects. 
 

In post-pandemic period, it was India who reiterated its people and the world to keep fighting against Corona virus, practice handwashing regularly and randomly, safe hygenic diets, wearing masks regularly and maintaining social distances. Especially, it is a daunting task to follow in a vastly populated nation like India, because there are many hidden chances of physical contacts and getting infected with corona virus while providing regular essential services to community, providing helping hands to the disabled and needy where these rules count later etc. There were huge surge in number of covid positive cases overnight in no time. But India kept fighting and came out victorious to become one of the front runners in making safe and secure corona virus vaccines. The two giant vaccine manufacturers of India - Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech - worked tirelessly day and night to make India corona free. It is for the first time in history of India and perhaps world that a vaccine has been prepared for a disease so quickly as a remedy. For the present moment, we are sighing with a big relief. 

But, health experts opine that different varities of converted corona virus samples are swirling in air all over world, which may or may not be controlled with a single or limited vaccines. Studies further prove that these converted viruses become even more lethal as time passes. So, question here is, can India be the pioneer in producing the next generation vaccines to combat COVID-19 virus till the end? 

Let's say, why can't? If this spirit continues to be the kingmaker, India alone can fight and kill dozens and millions of corona viruses. India's Janata Curfew, Bell ringing, conch blowing and lighting lamps were examples of this stubborn fighting spirit against corona till the last breathe, although it looked pretty silly at some point. 


In my practical assessment, why I say India can manufacture and supply the next-gen corona vaccines to the world is its selfless and non-business approach to this venture. India never demanded money for its free COVID vaccine campaign, which adds moral values to its credit as well as preaching the universal lifecare for all. This is why if India is given a task to produce next-gen pandemic vaccines, there will be no less in numbers of nations joining hands with India and providing all mechanical, technical and financial supports. Due to these key factors, I can foresee India being the next superpower and epicentral hub of global healthcare products, drugs and vaccines with love.
