New Delhi: Zydus Cadila has reportedly agreed to cut down the price of its COVID-19 vaccine to Rs 265 a dose after persistent negotiations by the central government.
However, a final deal is yet to be reached as to administer the needle-free ZyCov-D vaccine, a disposable painless jet applicator costing Rs 93 is required for each dose, which would take the price to Rs 358 per dose.
The Ahmedabad-based pharma company earlier had proposed a price of Rs 1,900 for its three-dose regimen, a source had said.
