It’s a million dollar question that when India will get first Covid vaccine but here are some good news coming . India may get first dose of vaccine in first week of December which will be used to high risk persons including heath workers .
Meanwhile The coronavirus vaccine developed by Sinovac, CoronaVac, has successfully developed an immune response among volunteers in the preliminary trials. However, the level of antibodies produced was comparatively lower than what recovered Covid-19 patients have developed on their own, reported Reuters.

According to reports, India is in touch with US-based biotech giant Moderna Inc over the progress of its coronavirus vaccine candidate, which the company has said is 94% effective in developing immunity against Covid-19.
Moderna has said the independent National Institutes of Health-appointed Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for the Phase 3 study of mRNA-1273, its vaccine candidate against Covid-19, found the 94 percent success.

BioNTech Chief Executive Ugur Sahin also claimed said that deliveries of coronavirus vaccine developed by BioNTech-Pfizer could come as early as Christmas this year, if ‘all goes well’.”If all goes well I could imagine that we will get approval (from US FDA) in the second half of December and start deliveries before Christmas, but really only if all goes positively,” he told .
