Pandemic and Global Pharmaceutical Industry

We are seeing a pandemic that is going on from early 2020 . Major global pharmaceutical entities have come together for development of vaccines.

Pfizer, BioNTech, Fosun Pharma, Moderna, J&J , Merck & Co, Inovio, Cansino Biologics, Sinovac, Sinopharm, Novavax, CNBG, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Astrazenca, Oxford, Serum Institute, GSK, SKBIO are some of them.

Millions of vaccine doses are being manufactured on a daily basis for prevention/spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Countries across the globe are engaged in the growth of Pharmaceutical Industry for safe and healthy living.

Developing countries like India are playing a major role in development and distribution of vaccines. India has also digitalized the entire vaccination process through apps like CoWin . CoWin helps in registration of individuals, identification of vaccine center nearby you, availability of different types of vaccines in the center, certification of vaccination  et cetera.
