New Delhi: The rules of Corona Vaccination are being changed from March 1 in the country. Now sick people above 45 years of age will also be able to get vaccinated. If this vaccination is free in Government Hospitals, then it will have to be paid for in Private Hospitals. In such a situation, speculations are also being made about the cost of vaccines among the people. Meanwhile, AIIMS director Randeep Guleria has indicated that the price of the vaccine will be kept reasonable even in private hospitals.
According to the news agency ANI, the director of AIIMS has said that necessary costs will be added to the cost of vaccines in private hospitals so that the hospitals do not suffer any harm. This has also been done in relation to Covid Testing before. This was done because the prices of covid testing should not be misused. The same will happen in the context of vaccination.
Guleria has said that the current vaccine will definitely prevent serious infections. He said this on the death rate concerns related to Corona’s new strain. He said that the vaccine rate we have is up to 70, 80, 90 percent. So even if there is some reduction in the FICC rate, it will prove to be effective.
Guleria said that instead of being worried, we need to watch the situation more closely and keep an eye. All variants of Corona have to be watched. Along with this, we have to consider changing the vaccine also in view of new variants.
Health Ministry will fix the price of vaccine dose within three to four days
Earlier, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar had said that those who want to get vaccinated in private hospitals will have to pay money. He had said that the Health Ministry will fix the price of the vaccine dose within three to four days. The price will be decided after negotiation with producers and hospitals.
Javadekar said that in the vaccination starting from March 1, 10,000 government and 20,000 private vaccination centers will be vaccinated. Vaccines will be provided free of cost in government centers. In the second phase of vaccination, vaccines will also be given to those above 45 years who have co-morbidities. While announcing this today, it was also clarified that the vaccinations of those above 60 years of age would be free in government hospitals, while the private centers or hospitals would have to pay for the corona vaccine.
