Dr Tedros was not the only WHO official to appreciate India's efforts against coronavirus. WHO South-East Asia regional director Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh also said the Geneva-headquartered global body welcomes India's decision to provide emergency use authorisation to two coronavirus vaccines.  "WHO welcomes the first emergency use authorization given to COVID-19 vaccine in the WHO South-East Asia region. This decision taken today by India will help intensify and strengthen the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the region," WHO South-East Asia tweeted.

WHO South-East Asia further added, "The use of vaccine in prioritized populations, along with continued implementation of other public health measures and community participation, will be important in reducing impact of COVID-19."
