Paraguay cancels orders for one million Covaxin doses

Bharat Biotech refused to comment on the matter. However, sources close to the development said the company had stopped production and exports of Covaxin from April, and thus if there are any pending orders, they stand cancelled. "This is an old development, because Bharat Biotech stopped exports of Covaxin long back, and is upgrading its manufacturing sites. Any orders, therefore, stand cancelled," the person said.

Media reports, however, have claimed that Paraguay cancelled orders because of quality control issues.
