Pfizer is in talk with the Indian government over expedited approval for its COVID-19 vaccine.

Its CEO, Albert Bourla said, on LinkedIn on Monday, announcing a donation of medicines worth more than $70 million.

“Unfortunately, our vaccine is not registered in India although our application was submitted months ago.

“We are currently discussing with the Indian government an expedited approval pathway to make our Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine available for use in the country,” he said.
