New Delhi : Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced on Monday that India will resume the export of Covid-19 vaccines from October onwards.
The minister said that surplus doses of Covid-19 vaccines from homegrown production will be used to fulfil the commitment India made to the World Health Organisation’s COVAX programme.
