Bio E's Corbevax may be India’s cheapest vaccine at Rs 250 per dose

Bio E公司的Corbevax疫苗或是印度最便宜的疫苗，每剂250卢比

HYDERABAD: Biological E’s recombinant protein Covid-19 vaccine, Corbevax, could well emerge as the most affordable of vaccines in the Indian market once it gets emergency use approval (EUA). Corbevax is slated to be rolled out at a sub-Rs 500 pricing, not for one dose but both the doses, and may even be priced below Rs 400 for two doses. Biological E managing director Mahima Datla had hinted at this in an exclusive interview to TOI earlier, adding the pricing was yet to be finalised.

海得拉巴：一旦获得紧急使用批准(EUA)， Bio E公司的重组蛋白疫苗Corbevax很可能成为印度市场上最廉价的疫苗。Corbevax预计将以低于500卢比的价格推出，不是一剂，而是两剂，甚至两剂的价格可能低于400卢比。Bio E总经理Mahima Datla早些时候在接受《印度时报》独家采访时暗示了这一点，他补充说，价格尚未敲定。

SII’s Covishield is priced at Rs 300 a dose for state governments and Rs 600 a dose for private hospitals, while the corresponding figures for Bharat Biotech’s Covaxn are Rs 400 and Rs 1,200. Russian vaccine Sputnik V has been priced at Rs 995 per jab by Dr Reddy’s Laboratories and will be available only to state and private hospitals.

印度血清研究所的Covishield为邦政府提供的价格是300卢比一剂，为私人医院提供的价格是600卢比一剂，而Bharat Biotech的Covaxn的价格分别是400卢比一剂和1200卢比一剂。俄罗斯疫苗Sputnik V在Reddy博士的实验室标价995卢比，仅供给公立和私立医院。

Corbevax is undergoing phase III trials and with phase I & II trials showing promising results, the Centre has pre-booked 30 crore doses for an advance payment of Rs 1,500 crore or Rs 50 per dose.

Corbevax正在进行第三阶段试验，第一和第二阶段试验显示出有希望的结果，印度政府已经预定了3亿剂疫苗，预付款为150亿卢比，每剂50卢比。

While Biological E has already begun at-risk manufacturing of the vaccine over the past month or so, Datla had expressed confidence that the company would be in a position to begin full-fledged production of 75-80 million doses per month from August.

虽然Bio E公司已经在过去一个月左右的时间里开始了疫苗的生产，但Datla表示，该公司有信心从8月份开始每月生产7500万至8000万剂疫苗。

If the vaccine gets EUA by July-August, the huge volumes that it would churn out could substantially ease the vaccine crunch that has currently hobbled the country’s vaccination drive.

如果该疫苗在7 - 8月前获得EUA，该公司将开始量产，可以大大缓解目前阻碍疫苗接种工作的疫苗短缺问题。

Govt booking 30 core vials in advance is a good sign. Going through the character of PM Modi, I am sure he will make India not only self reliant in the field of vaccine production but also a major supplier of vaccine in the world. Just wait and see.

政府提前预定了3亿剂，这是一个好迹象。根据莫迪总理的性格，我相信他将使印度不仅在疫苗生产领域自力更生，而且将成为世界上主要的疫苗供应商。拭目以待吧。
