Adar Poonawalla, the chief executive officer of Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII), said the vaccine developer will seek emergency use authorisation of 'Covishield' in next two weeks. The government, he said, is likely to purchase 300-400 million doses of the vaccine candidate by July next year. Poonawalla's remarks came shortly after PM Modi visited the SII manufacturing facility.
