NEW DELHI, Sept 25 (Bloomberg): India will make 8 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine available by the end of October under the Quad Partnership, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi informed fellow leaders of the Quad grouping -- made up also of the US, Australia and Japan -- at their summit in Washington, Shringla said. The Quad countries will pay for the vaccine and India will bear a certain share of the cost, he said.
