New Delhi: The Serum Institute has confirmed that there are fake bottles in the Covshield vaccine that arrives for the Covid vaccination.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified a counterfeit covid vaccine developed by Oxford-AstraZeneca and produced by the Serum Institute of India (SIII).
As the country has reported the spread of counterfeit bottles, some doubts have been raised about the availability of the covishield vaccine among Indians.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday issued a warning following the confirmation of counterfeit covishield vaccine in Southeast Asia and Africa.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also called for increased vigilance within the distribution networks of countries and regions where these counterfeit products may be affected. In Uganda, the Covihield with batch 4121Z040 and expiration date (10.08.2021) was found and confirmed to be a forgery.
