NEW DELHI (Bloomberg): India's largest hospital chain says it's ready to administer one million coronavirus vaccine doses a day, but the government has not made clear how vaccines will be distributed and whether private healthcare networks will be involved.

Apollo Hospitals Enterprise has so far trained 6,000 staff to give out jabs across its network of 71 hospitals, hundreds of clinics and thousands of pharmacies, according to managing director Suneeta Reddy, who said the company's talks with officials in New Delhi had yet to provide any firm guidance.
