Covid19 or Coronavirus is affecting the world in the most drastic manner. Spreading at the fastest rate, this virus is affecting each and every corner of the world. India is also among the most affected country in the world. The only way to control this virus is a Vaccine. However, many countries are on the way to get a positive outcome. The whole world is now eagerly waiting for the completion of human trials of the vaccine. But yes apart from the vaccine invention, people are also keeping an eye on the price of vaccines.
Lockdown in India affects the middle class and poor people of India very badly. Their savings are almost gone and now they are worried if the price of vaccines exceeds their budget ranges then it can be another big problem for them. But don’t worry, Serum institute finally comes up with good news for low-and middle-income countries. Serum Institute of India this Friday made a collaboration with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation) due to which Indian can get the Covid19 vaccine at the price of only 3 dollar or 225 rupees. Funding of 150 million dollars will be provided to Gavi by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support the manufacturing of the Covid19 vaccine by Serum Institute.
However, this ceiling price of the proposed vaccine is only for the countries that come under the COVAX Alliance. This alliance is established to ensure the fast development of the Covid19 vaccine along with its easy access. This partnership will help in accelerating the production of the Coronavirus vaccine up to 100 million vaccine doses. As a part of India’s agreement with Serum, 50% of the vaccine or up to 50 million vaccine doses will be available in Indian only.
So, let’s pray to the positive outcomes of the human trails of the Coronavirus vaccine so that once again we can live together with Joy and happiness!!!
