Serum Institute is amongst the three leading vaccine developers to have applied for emergency use authorisation in India. The government is likely to seal a deal for major supply contract of the Astra Zeneka vaccines. Reportedly, there are talks to fix prices at Rs 250 per dose of the vaccine which is quite lower as it was earlier priced at Rs 1,000 per dose. However, neither Serum Institute nor the government has reacted to the reports.
