Covid19 Vaccination Process: Today, the world’s largest vaccination program started on 16 January. A special procedure is being followed for vaccination i.e. people registered on Co-Win will be called to apply the vaccine through SMS and they will be monitored after stopping the center for half an hour after applying the vaccine. They will then be notified via SMS for the second dose. Under the Corona Vaccination Program, 3 crore health workers were vaccinated today on the first day. In the second phase, 300 million people will be given vaccine vaccines. In the second phase, people above 50 years of age and those under 50 years of age who are at high risk of infection will be vaccinated.
The central government has approved Bharat Biotech’s Kovaxine for this program along with the Kovishield vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University and produced by the Serum Institute of India (SII). The Central Government has ordered 1.10 crore doses to Serum Institute and 55 million doses to Bharat Biotech.

The central government is buying vaccine from two companies
The Central Government is buying KoviShield at a rate of Rs 200 per dose from Serum Institute of India. With GST it will cost 210 rupees. Talking about the price of Covaxine, Biotech is giving 16.5 lakh doses free of cost to the central government. The central government is buying the remaining 38.5 lakh doses of Covaxine at the rate of Rs 295 per dose.
However, after coming to the private market, the price of KoviShield will almost double. After getting approval for the sale in the private market, about 1 thousand rupees will have to be spent for the prescribed two shots.
