₹1,000. But we have not received permission for this...," Poonawalla said, according to an ANI interview. Poonawalla's comments came after the world's largest vaccine manufacturing company began to dispatch its locally produced Oxford Covid-19 vaccine 'Covishield' across the country in the wee hours of Tuesday.
Poonwalla termed it a historic moment and said the main challenge is to make the vaccine available to everyone in the country."We have given a special price of ₹200 for the first 100 million doses only to the Government of India on their request because we want to support common man, vulnerable, poor and healthcare workers.
