Biden administration sending India materials for millions of AstraZeneca vaccines

The Biden administration announced it will aid India in manufacturing AstraZeneca vaccines by diverting orders for raw materials, but it will not donate doses from the national stockpile.

Senior administration officials told reporters Monday that the federal government will divert an order meant for the United States of raw materials needed to manufacture the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has not been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration for public use.
