The Central Government has given its nod for the same. Bibkol, a company in Chola area of Bulandshahr, will produce Covaxin and produce about 2 crore vaccine doses every month.
30 crore has also been sanctioned by the Ministry of Health, Central Government. Bibcol means Bharat Immunological and Biological Limited is a Government of India company and so far it produces polio vaccine in the country. But at present, the corona vaccine is considered to be the most needed in the country, so BIBCOL has been asked to produce corona vaccine.
