Coronavirus Vaccine May Be a Possibility by Early Next Year, Health Minister Tells Parliament

News 18  

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Thursday said the government is aiming to bring down India's COVID-19 mortality rate to less than 1 per cent from the current 1.64 per cent, which is still the lowest in the world. Vardhan said there are chances that a vaccine could come in the country early next year but till then it was necessary for people to follow social distancing and wear masks. "I want to say that the whole country in the last eight months, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has fought against the pandemic," he said. History will remember prime minister Modi for continuously monitoring the situation at personal level and coordinating efforts with state governments over the last eight months, Vardhan said.
