coronavirus vaccine: ‘Reduce vaccine rates’, Serum, Bharat Biotech Center advises

New Delhi: The number of corona patients in the country is increasing rapidly. More than three and a half lakh new patients have been registered, according to the health ministry on Monday morning. This has led the central government to focus on the coronavirus vaccine. From May 1, all citizens above 18 years of age will be vaccinated in the country. However, the Center has instructed state-run servers and Bharat Biotech to reduce the rates of vaccines in the open market, sources said. PTI has given this news.

To speed up the vaccination drive, the central government has allowed vaccine manufacturers Bharat Biotech and Serum Institute to sell 50 per cent of their vaccine products to state governments and the open market. The Serum Institute then announced rates for its covishield vaccine for states and the open market. The rate was fixed at Rs 400 per dose for states and Rs 600 per dose for private hospitals.

After the Serum Institute announced the rates of covachield vaccine on corona, Bharat Biotech also announced the rates of covaxin vaccine, which is almost the same as serum.

At the same time, the rate for private hospitals in the open market will be Rs 1,200 per dose. The price of exported vaccine will be ते 15 to २० 20 per dose (about Rs 1,123 to Rs 1,498).
