Serum Institute to provide complimentary Covishield doses in CII vaccination drive. In July, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the vaccine maker agreed to work together to expand vaccination across the country.  “SII has agreed on providing additional complimentary vaccines based on the following: upon predetermined Minimum number of doses (under CSR project) as may be demanded by a corporate,” CII said in a statement. In a time when the third wave is approaching, it is very necessary to get the vaccine at least the first dose, and thus both CII and Serum’s step is worthy of praise in such trying times. 

Serum’s contribution will be 1,200 doses free contribution upon order of a minimum of 24,000 doses (as per private market applicable price) for supply in one lot, 9600 doses free contribution upon order of a minimum 96,000 doses and 28,800 doses free contribution upon order of a minimum of 1,92,000 doses. This special initiative will be valid for the period of August. The CII-SII agreement will help accelerate the vaccination drive in partnership with industry, including healthcare providers. The vaccine drive will target communities in India’s small towns and rural areas to ensure wide coverage.
