Private hospitals will no longer be able to charge different prices for corona vaccines. The government has fixed the prices of vaccines. Now private hospitals will not be able to charge more than Rs 780 for Covishield. There is a 5% GST and a maximum service charge of Rs 150 in this. While the cost of Covaccine will not exceed Rs 1410. Sputnik v will cost Rs 1,145. The prices of all vaccines have a 5% GST and a maximum service charge of Rs 150. However, there is confusion about these new prices because the price of Covaccine is written on the Co-Vin platform itself as Rs 1200. In such a situation, will private hospitals charging Rs 1200 charge Rs 1450 for this?

Center said, state governments should see that hospitals do not charge more than the fixed price
While fixing the price of corona vaccines for private hospitals, the Center has said that the state governments should see that they do not charge more than this. If the prices come down in future, then private hospitals will also be asked to reduce the prices. Meanwhile, there are also reports that the government is starting an e-voucher scheme. Under this, anyone can buy e-vouchers and get the needy vaccines in private hospitals.
