Vaccinations: Free in government hospital, on payment at private centres

BY A STAFF REPORTER

All Indians above the age of 18 can get themselves vaccinated free of cost at government facilities from today. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that the Union government will procure 75 per cent of the total vaccine production from vaccine manufacturers and give it free to the state governments.  As per the new guidelines, all vaccine doses will be allocated to the states and union territories based on their population, number of COVID-19 cases and progress made in vaccination. Vaccine manufacturers would have to declare the price of all doses for private hospitals as well.
Everyone is entitled to free vaccination, and people who can pay are encouraged to get themselves vaccinated at private hospitals. All private hospitals have to provide onsite registration facilities. The Centre has mentioned that the maximum price that can be charged per dose by private vaccine centres is Rs 780 for Covishield, Rs 1,410 for Covaxin and Rs 1,145 for Sputnik V.
