US denies India's request to lift an export ban on raw materials needed to make COVID-19 vaccines
The US State Department said that the US is focusing on vaccinating the American people when asked about sending raw materials to India for vaccine production. The response comes after the Serum Institute of India asked the US to lift an export ban on these materials, a request that has yet to be met. India is currently facing a large surge in COVID-19 cases with over 300,000 new cases recorded in one day this week. Some estimates suggest that the US export ban could last another month.
