WASHINGTON, Nov 1 — Indonesia, hard-hit by the coronavirus pandemic, became the first country to approve the new vaccine for Covid-19 created by US-based Novavax, the company announced today.

The vaccine will be produced by the Serum Institute of India, and deliveries will begin “imminently,” according to a statement from Novavax.
