Five people died in the fire that occurred Thursday at one of the facilities of the Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, located in western India, from which coronavirus vaccines will be exported to countries such as Brazil. "Five people died" in the fire, Pune Mayor Murlidhar Mohol, the Indian city where this plant is located, told reporters.
