New Delhi:
Bharat Biotech has reduced the price of its Covaxin for state governments from Rs 600 to Rs 400 per dose, the vaccine-maker said in a statement today. The cost of the COVID-19 vaccine for private hospitals is changed at Rs 1,200 per dose.
Today’s announcement by one of the two companies whose vaccines are allowed in India came a day after the other company, Adar Poonawalla’s Serum Institute of India, cut the price of its Covishield from Rs 400 to Rs 300 in what Mr Poonawalla called a “philanthropic gesture”.
