India said on Tuesday that it will approve the use of all Coronavirus vaccines that have been given an emergency nod by the World Health Organization or regulators in the US, Europe, Britain or Japan.

Union Health Ministry said the decision was aimed at hastening the use of shots made in other countries and expanding the “basket of vaccines” available for domestic use. The country is seeing a crippling surge of cases that has overwhelmed hospitals in hard-hit cities. The only way out of the crisis, experts say, is to vaccinate more people.
