India will have nearly 120 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines available for domestic use in June, the government said on May 30.

India’s total Covid-19 cases passed 18 million on April 29 after another world record number of daily infections, as gravediggers worked around the clock to bury victims and hundreds more were cremated in makeshift pyres in parks and parking lots.

Experts at India’s drugs regulator recommended two coronavirus vaccines for emergency use: one developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University, and the other backed by a state-run institute.
