Amidst huge uproar regarding the side effect of Covishield, the Serum Institute of India has said that it has stopped the manufacture and supply of additional doses of Covishield from December 2021 and this was done in view of the significantly decreasing demand for previous vaccines.
"With India achieving high vaccination rates in 2021 and 2022, coupled with the emergence of new mutant variant strains, the demand for previous vaccines diminished significantly. Consequently, since December 2021, we have stopped the manufacturing and supply of additional doses of Covishield," a spokesperson from the SII said on Wednesday.
