Hyderabad: Taking a cue from Serum Institute of India (SII), Bharat Biotech on Thursday announced reduction in the price of its COVID-19 vaccine.
Covaxin will be available to the states and union territories at Rs 400 per dose from May 1. Hyderabad-based manufacturer of the vaccine had earlier set the price at Rs 600 per dose.
