 CoronaVirus: Corona vaccine will be available in India soon, find out how much it will cost

There is good news in the midst of the Coronavirus crisis. Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India, claims that the corona vaccine will be available to the public soon.

(Coronavirus crisis) has come up with some good news. Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India, claims that the corona vaccine will be available to the public soon. Poonawala said on Thursday that the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine could be available to health workers and the elderly by February 2021 and to the general public by April.

By 2024 everyone will get it

Talking about the cost of the vaccine, he said that based on the results of the final test and regulatory approval, the general public would have to pay a maximum of Rs 1,000 for two required doses. Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit (HTLS) 2020, Poonawala said that by 2024, every Indian is likely to be vaccinated against corona.

Work continues on pricing

Poonawala said the vaccine is coming soon. The results so far have been very good and we hope that all will be well in the future. Talking about the cost of the vaccine, he said that the Government of India will get the vaccine at a cheaper price. Because they will buy it on a large scale. However, he clarified that work on vaccine pricing is ongoing.

Good results found

Asked about the effectiveness of the vaccine, he said that the vaccine has given a very good result on the elderly. Which was a matter of concern at first. However, it is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. We have good hopes. The results of its effectiveness in Britain will come in the next two to three weeks, but the results of tests done on crocodiles will come in two and a half months. The serum institute is testing a vaccine developed by Oxford University and AstroGeneca in the country.

The kids still have to wait

Adar Poonawala said the children may still have to wait for the corona vaccine. Because this transition is not more dangerous for them. He said it could take about four months for children to be vaccinated once vaccination has started. In response to another question, Poonawala said, "We will soon produce 100 million doses per month." We are increasing our production capacity. We can give 30-40 crore vaccines to India by July.
