Both Serum's Covishield, Bharat Bio's Covaxin vaccines cost same to Centre


The Centre has bought the first lot of the two approved vaccines — Serum Institute’s Covishield and Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin — at nearly the same price. The 1.65 million free doses of Covaxin being supplied to the government bring down the effective cost of procuring 5.5 million vaccines from Bharat Biotech to Rs 206 per dose (without taxes).
Moreover, people will not have the option of choosing between the two vaccines, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan clarified on Tuesday. “Many countries in the world are using multiple vaccines. There is no such option available in any country,” Bhushan said.
The Centre has spent around Rs 333 crore for the first lot of 16.5 million vaccines. Of this, around 11 million are coming from Pune’s Serum Institute at Rs 200 per dose (without taxes) and around 5.5 million from Hyderabad’s Bharat Biotech.
