Acting on the directives of the Haryana Government, the Gurugram administration on Friday ordered all private hospitals to cap the Covid vaccine prices.
Deputy Civil Surgeon MP Singh has directed all private facilities to fix the rate of Covishield at Rs 900 and Covaxin at Rs 1,200 per shot.
"All private hospitals have been told to fix vaccine rates. As per the instructions issued by the government, if private hospitals set up vaccination camp outside their premises, then they can charge an additional Rs 250 for administrating the vaccine dose," said Singh.
Clarifying the order, the health authorities said if a hospital sets up a camp anywhere outside its premises, then it could charge Rs 1,150 for Covishield and Rs 1,450 for Covaxin. However, inside their premises they can charge Rs 900 and Rs 1,200 for Covishield and Covaxin, respectively. Besides, the Gurugam administration has also issued helpline numbers for orphans.
"There are some families where the children have become orphaned after their parents died due to this virus. For such children, the district administration has released helpline numbers 0124-2328288, 9717846669 and 8700454307," Deputy Commissioner Yash Garg said.
