India has placed an order for 10 million doses of Zydus Cadila's DNA Covid-19 vaccine at a price of 265 Indian rupees per dose, the drugmaker has said, according to Reuters.
The three-dose vaccine, ZyCoV-D, was approved by the country's drug regulator in August for emergency use in adults and children aged 12 years and above.
As opposed to syringes, the shot is administered using a needle-free "PharmaJet" applicator, which will be sold at 93 rupees per dose.
