    Five people have died after a fire broke out at a production facility belonging to the world’s largest vaccine maker, the Serum Institute of India (SII). It said that Covid-19 vaccine production has not been impacted, however.

    On Thursday afternoon, emergency services were called to an SII plant in Pune, after a fire broke out on the fifth floor.

    Executive Director Suresh Jadhav confirmed that the facility in question is used for the production of a BCG vaccine – an inoculation used primarily against tuberculosis.
