Brazil sends plane to India for COVID-19 vaccine

The Brazilian government will be sending a plane to fetch 2 million doses of the AstraZeneca Coronavirus vaccine from India`s Serum Institute in Pune, where they are manufacturing the doses. The Brazil Ministry of Health has said it will be procuring the AstraZeneca doses from the Serum Institute of India. SII has produced the Covishield vaccine along with AstraZeneca, which is now being used for India`s mega vaccination drive. The Brazil health ministry has said an Azul airline plane took off from Viracopos Airport in Campinas to fetch 2 million of the AstraZeneca-Oxford Covid-19 vaccines from India. It said the immunizer was purchased by the folder at the Indian laboratory Serum Institute to guarantee the start of vaccination for Brazilians simultaneously and free of charge. The date of the plane`s return to Brazil, with the vaccine load estimated at 15 tons, is still being evaluated according to the progress of the logistics operation carried out by the federal government in partnership with Azul. The Brazil government, through its embassy in New Delhi, is in constant contact with the Indian authorities, following a letter from President Jair Bolsonaro to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the vaccine procurement. The Brazilian Air Force is also involved in issues of authorization to fly over and land the aircraft.
