Vaccine companies earning over Rs 900 Cr profit in a month: Satyendar Jain

Vaccine companies are earning over Rs 900 Crore profit in a month, said Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain. The Delhi government said on Thursday that while the national capital has adequate ICU beds and medical oxygen stock in the government-run hospitals and private healthcare centers, the Centre should fix a uniform rate for vaccines. Jain, who earlier held a video conference with Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, said that he had conveyed to the latter that private players like Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech were generating huge profit of Rs 16,000 crore on 100 crore doses, considering the pandemic as an opportunity to generate enormous profits.
