World’s biggest vaccine-maker facing supply chain woes

Available for over a year

The Serum Institute of India, the world’s biggest maker of vaccines, has accused Europe and the United States of holding back vital raw materials needed for production. We hear from Adar Poornawalla, the chief executive of the vaccine manufacturer, who says India’s requirements will be made a priority. In addition, procurement specialist, Simon Geale tells us why India is facing supply chain challenges. Plus, we look ahead to this year's Black British Business Awards with the event's organiser, Melanie Eusebe. And the BBC’s Vincent Dowd reports on Broadway, the commercial theatre district in New York City. The neighbourhood's 41 theatres closed just over a year ago, however some are hopeful that these venues could reopen in September. We hear from top theatre producers who say they will only return with every seat sold. (Picture: Line of vials of COVID-19 Coronavirus Vaccine are placed on dry ice / Credit: Reuters/Dado Ruvic)
