New Delhi: After deciding on ramping up the vaccination drive nation-wide, the Centre on Tuesday capped the charges for administration of Covishield, Covaxin and Sputnik V in private hospitals. A private hospital can charge Rs 780, Rs 1,410 and Rs 1,145 for administration of Covishield, Covaxin and Sputnik V respectively.
This move is seen as an attempt to stop private hospitals from over-charging patients in the name of vaccination.
The Central government on Tuesday also said that it has decided to increase the supply of two made-in-India vaccines – Covishield and Covaxin.
