The cabinet is also likely to decide on the retail prices of Covid-19 vaccines during the upcoming session. The ministry had recommended the price of two jabs of the Russian vaccine be set at Rs 8,449. The packet containing four doses of Sputnik-V is set at Rs 16,560 while 10 and 20 doses would be available at Rs40,555 and Rs 81,110 respectively after approval from the cabinet. The letter pointed out the global price set for the Sputnik-V is $10 per dose, and this means that internationally two doses of Sputnik-V are available at $20. However, the approved price for its commercial sale in Pakistan is 160 percent higher than the international price, it said.
