In a recent move, the govt. has put a cap on how much the private sector can charge for vaccines. As of now, the vaccine is priced at Rs.250. From this, private hospitals will charge Rs. 100 as service charge. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Chairman of Biocon Ltd. has said that vaccine manufacturers feel betrayed due to this pricing. Further, considering Prime Minister Modi reportedly took a show of the Bharat Biotech COVAXIn, have concerns around vaccine hesitancy been quashed? In this conversation, Barkha Dutt discusses if the value of the cap is too low or must be raised? Will such pricing deter international private companies from selling vaccines in India? Find out these answers as Barkha Dutt talks to Dr.Harsh Mahajan, Dr. Navin Dang, Dr. NK Ganguly, Prof. Virander Chauhan, Vikas Dandekar and Anant Bhan.
