India is neither directly providing the vaccines nor has Pakistan made a request for Covishield, which is the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine licensed and manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII).<\/p>\n The vaccines have been allocated and funded through COVAX<\/strong>, co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi and the World Health Organization (WHO), alongside UNICEF. COVAX aims to provide equal access to vaccines to 190 participating countries, both self-financed and funded. It has made arrangements to access nearly two billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine candidates on behalf of the participating economies. COVAX has existing agreements with the Serum Institute of India for 200 million doses<\/a> of vaccines (with options for up to 900 million doses more).<\/p>\n The global alliance has recognised 92 middle-and lower-income countries that cannot fully afford to pay for COVID-19 vaccines themselves. Both Pakistan and India are among the funded countries. Once vaccines are licensed and prequalified by the WHO, COVAX AMC (Advance Market Commitment) funds will pay for the purchase of doses for all 92 ODA (Official Development Assistance)-eligible countries. The global alliance aims to vaccinate no more than 20% of the population of the participating countries.<\/p>\n Till now, COVAX has only released details of the first round of allocation<\/a>. “This first round of allocation outlines the delivery of doses of the AZ\/Oxford vaccine \u2013 manufactured by AstraZeneca (AZ) and COVISHIELD, licensed to and manufactured by Serum Institute of India (SII\/AZ) \u2013 to 142 Facility participants,” says its website.<\/p>\n Pakistan will receive 14,640,000 doses of the SII\/AZ vaccine by May 2021.<\/p>\n COVAX allocates vaccines to the participating countries based on a number of factors \u2013 the level of threat, mortality rate, number of sick healthcare workers, logistical considerations, etc. These can be read in detail here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Indian government is keeping a track of vaccines delivered to other countries through Vaccine Maitri. Details of the supply can be found on the website of the Ministry of External Affairs<\/a>. Pakistan is yet to receive vaccines hence its name is absent from the current data.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/03\/TIMES-NOW.jpg\")
