Vaccine will be bought directly from the company
The Association of Healthcare Providers says that the corona vaccine will be procured for India directly from Johnson & Johnson Company. This vaccine may be available in the country by July. Initially only 1,000 doses of this vaccine will be available.

This will be the price
Johnson & Johnson’s corona vaccine will be available in the country for $ 25, around Rs 1,850. The special thing about this vaccine is that it is a single shot vaccine, that is, people will have to get only one dose of it.

Vaccination of 31.5 crore people in the country
According to the data of the Ministry of Health, so far 31.5 crore people in the country have been given at least one dose of corona vaccine. Although this is a very small part of the country’s population. Rating agencies like Moody’s and S&P have described this slow pace of vaccination as a big risk for the economy in the coming times.
