JAIPUR: If you plan to opt for Covaxin, get ready to shell out Rs 1,250 for one dose at private hospitals. The state government, which had promised free vaccination for the 18-44 years age group, has given orders for only Covidshield from the Serum Institute of India (SII) and have not yet placed an order with Bharat Biotech for Covaxin for this category.
Officials stated that Covaxin would cost them Rs 100 extra per vaccine and the government would have to increase their budget for the required seven crore doses.
Rajasthan has ordered 3.75 vials initially from SII and have received nearly five lakh doses so far. But, they have not yet contacted Bharat Biotech for Covaxin.
