UNCOVERED: Maharashtra task force set to request cut in booster dose price | History Defined

PUNE: Members of the state Covid-19 task force told TOI on Saturday that they plan to suggest a cut in price of booster shots for the 18-59 age group.

The third shot costs Rs 375 at private hospitals - Rs 225 for the jab and Rs 150 as service charge. Some states sponsor it for the 18-59 group, but in Maharashtra only the 60-plus get it for free at government vaccination centres. The state had requested the Centre to sponsor it, but a decision on the matter is awaited.
