Pune: Resident City Sanket Gaikwad (27) has raised plans to vaccinate his family members to find the price of Covaxin, the choice of shots that are liked against Covid, too steep for him.
“I am currently not working and do not want to get a covishield.
It’s hard to get a slot for free Covaxin shots from government centers.
We have now decided to wait until the availability increases on the site free of charge,” he told Toi.
Garima Mishra, a city-based work professional, “it seems impractical in the current situation, when most employers have significantly cut their staff salaries, to spend thousands of rupees on vaccination.
This is one reason we finally decided to take Covishield.
“Limited supplies on government vaccination sites make it difficult for many citizens to get Covaxin for free.
Cowin on Monday showed around 10 private sites in the Pune District that managed Covaxin, at a price per shot starting from RS 1,200-1.260 in three personal inoculation facilities and RS 1,410 on the rest.
Gaikwad told Tii, “My mother on Sunday took Covaxin shots on a private site for Rs 1,200.
There are no slots available on any government site.
Thus we have to choose a private center, even though it costs high.
Some in my family need a Covaxin shot .
We have decided to wait until the vaccine is easily available in the points that manage free shots.

I use several telegram groups that disseminate information about the availability of slots.
But this too Shows a limited government site that offers covaxin.

“Prakash said the friend’s family had resisted vaccination because it would be a big burden for them to spend a lot of money for inoculation within one month.” People from a weaker background economically usually have a family together and unable to spend thousands of rupees in a month.
