We need to understand that counterfeiters are not going to produce a vaccine, they are going to fool people by replicating the vaccine packaging, while potentially putting inactive or even harmful contents inside the vial. The absence of anti-counterfeiting & traceability measures is going to make their task easy. Incidents of vaccine falsification are not new for India and the world. In India, there have been incidents. Last year, a big racket was busted in Rajasthan that was involved in counterfeit Meningitis vaccines. Three months ago, in September 2020, Odisha’s drug enforcement agency arrested a man on charges of trying to sell fake Covid-19 vaccines in the Bargarh district. The accused was found preparing vials with Covid-19 vaccine stickers on them. This year, itself, various agencies had issued alerts raising the concerns of fake incidents.
