Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has said the US is helping India and other countries to be able produce the vaccines by themselves.

With a need for several billion doses around the world, the US was committed to provide half a billion, Biden said during a press conference at White House on Tuesday.

“We have committed to over a half a billion doses. And we're trying to provide for more and provide for the capacity of countries like India to be able to produce the vaccine themselves. And we're helping them do that. That's what we're doing now,” he said in response to a question.

“And we're trying to…by the way, it's free. We're not charging anybody anything. And we're trying to do as much as we possibly can,” he added.

In this fight against COVID-19, Biden asserted, the United States was committed to becoming the “arsenal of vaccines”, the manner in which it was the arsenal of democracy during World War II.
