The United Nation Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday said that the 200,000 Covid-19 vaccines donated by India for all UN peacekeepers are “already being put to use”.
Speaking to the reporters, Guterres said,” The Indian Government had offered us 200,000 doses and a number of peacekeepers are already being vaccinated.”
“So, on the Indian vaccines, those, which I think were AstraZeneca, those were 200,000. They’re already being put to use,” he said.
Reportedly, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had announced in February that India will gift vaccine doses for UN peacekeepers. And keeping its promise, India gifted 200,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines for UN peacekeepers across all UN missions.
