A woman being vaccinated in Ahmedabad. | Reuters/Amit Dave On Saturday, the pharmaceutical company Bharat Biotech officially announced the sale prices for its Covid-19 vaccine, Covaxin. State governments will have to pay Rs 600 per dose while private hospitals will have to pay Rs 1,200 per dose. These prices, fixed far above the corresponding rates announced by the Serum Institute of India for its vaccine, Covishield, has surprised observers for many reasons.
The Serum Institute could cite royalty payments to the Swedish-Britsh firm AstraZeneca from which it has licensed its vaccine as a potential reason for higher prices. But Bharat Biotech does not have to pay any royalty for Covaxin. Covaxin is, in large measure, a product of publicly funded research in India.
