There is suspense at the price of covid-19 vaccine in India, however, if reports are to be believed then it can cost Rs 250 per dose for the general public at private hospitals. While the vaccine is being given free of cost at the government centres, people will need to pay for it at private facilities.
However, there is no confirmation about the price from the government yet, but in a day two the government can announce the prices.
Sources have told India Today TV that the vaccine price at the private hospitals has currently been fixed at Rs 250 per dose, inclusive of Rs 100 service charge.
“There will be no capping, there will be one fixed price,” sources said, adding, “Till now this has been deliberated upon, this is the price until further changes.”
