Claim: 190 countries have pre-booked the Bharat Biotech COVID-19 vaccine that India has developed.
Fact-check: COVAX agreement between 190 countries is misconstrued as that for the vaccine being developed in India - FACTLY
Verdict: covaxin which is being developed by bharat biotech is the only indigenous vaccine that is approved for emergency use. it is not currently distributed among other countries as bharat biotech is not among the signatories under the covax facility. the covax agreement is to facilitate vaccine distribution to the 190 participating countries in which serum institute is a signatory. this is being misconstrued as 190 countries have pre-booked the bharat biotech covid-19 vaccine developed in india. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
