Yes, @RonnieScrewvala , we will keep more than enough for the community. Our production capacity of just one day will be enough to cover every Parsi on the planet...given the size of our community!

On a lighter note 😊-since Parsi’s are to be an Extinct race 😊(though avg age of Parsi’s show otherwise) there is a lobby that as vaccine does come in there will be a special Quota under saving from extinction Race😊-&why not if a Parsi is at the forefront of it @adarpoonawalla

Very pleased with the progress Moderna's vaccine has shown. This only reiterates my point, that this is a global effort and and more than one vaccine is likely to succeed and could be manufactured in India. Great news!
