Biotech too slashes Covaxin rate, will cost states Rs 400/dose
New Delhi, April 29
After the Serum Institute of India cut the cost of Covid vaccine for state governments from Rs 400 to Rs 300, Bharat Biotech has slashed the price for states from Rs 600 a dose to Rs 400 a dose.
The indigenous Covaxin maker did not announce any concessions for private hospitals. The SII too had not reduced costs for private hospitals, which will have to procure their own vaccine doses from the manufacturers from May 1 when the adult inoculation drive begins. The SII is providing vaccines at Rs 600 a dose to private players and Bharat Biotech at Rs 1200 a dose. — TNS
