Moderna to charge Rs 1,850-Rs 2,750 for its COVID-19 shot, may soon strike deal with EU

One of the forerunners in the run-up to a COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna said it will charge governments between USD 25 (approx Rs 1,850) and USD 37 (approx Rs 2,750) per dose of its shot, depending on the amount ordered. The vaccine therefore costs about the same as a flu shot. 

The European Commission wanted to reach a deal with Moderna to cater to the requirement of millions of vaccine shots for a  price below USD 25 per dose.
