Covid vaccine: India may grant indemnity to Pfizer, Moderna, says report

The Indian government is expected to grant foreign vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna indemnity against legal proceedings, as part of its bid to ramp up Covid-19 vaccine supply in the country. 
 

Countries like the US have granted these vaccine makers immunity where they cannot be sued for any adverse effects. "It is expected that they will be granted indemnity against legal proceedings along the lines of what has been allowed in other countries for Pfizer and Moderna," ANI on Wednesday quoted government sources as saying.
 

Pfizer is reportedly in talks with the Indian government for supplying 50 million vaccine doses
