Why Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine will be expensive and difficult to deliver in India

There are currently no licensed RNA vaccines. For India, RNA vaccines are going to be very expensive. Moderna has said that the cost of their vaccine is going to be US$37 per dose.

Also, this vaccine, right now, needs to be held (stored) at minus 80 degree Celsius. Currently, we have no system in this country to be able to deliver a minus 80 degree Celsius vaccine. So, while it is good news, there is also a long way to go.
