There appears to be a change in the Covishield vaccine maker’s position with regard to its pricing
On April 24, Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute, issued a statement to address the “ongoing public scepticism and confusion towards the pricing of Covishield”. The statement tried to address the controversy over whether the price of the vaccine at ₹600 (nearly $8) per dose for private hospitals was more than its cost when it was exported. But it did not refer to the issue of whether the vaccine would be priced differently for procurement by the Centre and the State governments.
