The company is supplying vaccines to Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
On April 29, Bharat Biotech announced a cut in the price of ‘COVAXIN’ for states to ₹400 per dose from the earlier ₹600 per dose.
This followed widespread criticism of its pricing policy as it sold COVAXIN to the central government at ₹150 per dose.
