This statement of the Congress came after the announcement of the Modi government, in which it has been said that from May 1, all adults in India will get the Corona vaccine.
It was also said that the vaccine manufacturers would provide half of their total production to the Government of India and the remaining half would be free to supply to the State Governments or the open market.
On the new policy, the Congress says that this will put additional burden on the states, whose economic health is not already good.
Emphasizing that the central, state governments and private hospitals fix a single vaccine price, he said, “Why a country cannot have a price policy for a vaccine.” I think this is a legitimate demand. ”
Congress leader P Chidambaram claimed that “The Modi government has finally accepted the lack of corona vaccine”.
He said, “In the changed vaccine policy, the central government is running away from its responsibility, this will increase the burden on the states.” Vaccine makers will be more profitable. At the same time, the gap between rich and poor will increase with the Center and the states.
A dose of corona vaccine can range from 700 to 1000 rupees.
when more companies launch the vaccine in the private market, a dose of Corona vaccine can cost from 700 to 1,000 rupees. It is worth noting that for government hospitals, its price has been fixed at Rs 250.
Based on an earlier interview by Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India, it has been claimed in the news that he had quoted the price of one dose in Kovishield’s private market at around one thousand rupees.
Similarly, Dr. Reddy, who imports Sputnik V, can keep his price within 750 rupees for one dose. However, no final decision has been made about this yet.
In this regard, companies say that the price of a vaccine is decided due to several reasons. It has to be seen that how much vaccine they will be able to sell in the private market, how much vaccine they will export. It also includes issues like supply chain.
