Hyderabad-based Biological E (BE) has reduced the price of its COVID-19 Vaccine CORBEVAX, from Rs 840 to Rs 250 a dose inclusive of GST, for private COVID-19 vaccination centres. For the end-user, the price would be Rs 400 a dose, including taxes and administration charges. 

The company aims to make the vaccines more affordable and help increase the reach to protect the maximum number of children against the virus.

The decision comes within weeks of Biological E receiving Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for children between 5 and 12 years of age. The previous private market price for the vaccine was Rs 990 a dose including taxes and vaccine administration charges.
