NEW DELHI: Strong criticism of different prices for the same vaccines produced by the same two manufacturers led the Centre on Monday to ask them to reduce their prices. The development has come just five days ahead of the mass vaccination drive covering all adults who are 18 or 18+.
There is, however, no certainty that the manufacturers will agree to sell Covishield and Covaxin vaccines to the states and the private hospitals at Rs 150 per dose, the rate fixed for supplies to the Centre, as both Serum Institute and Bharat Biotech claim their production cost is much higher at Rs 200 per dose.
