India might have enough Covid-19 vaccines to inoculate entire adult population by year end, govt says

Facing Covid-19 vaccine crunch at present, India can potentially get 216 crore doses in five months between August and December -- enough to vaccinate its entire adult population, a senior official of the government has said. Vinod Kumar Paul, who heads India's Covid-19 Task Force, also said the Russian Sputnik V vaccine is likely to be available by next week.
