Will India get the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine?

BBC World Service - Newshour, Will India get the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine?

India has the world's second highest infection rate. We ask if the vaccine will be used

India has the world's second highest number of coronavirus infections. We ask if the vaccine will be used

India has the second highest number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the world. Pfizer's new vaccine, which appears to offer 90 percent protection, needs to be stored at minus 70 or 80C. So does India have the ultra-cold storage systems needed to use it? 

Also in the programme: Russia is deploying hundreds of peacekeeping troops to Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding territories, after Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to end six weeks of war; and we hear tributes to one of the leading Palestinian political figures of the past 30 years, Saeb Eerekat, who has died after contracting Covid-19.
