Starting May 1 - Anyone above 18 years is covered under PAID vaccine program. State Govt can buy directly from vaccine manufacturers (paid or free is state Govt’s decision) Private hospitals can also buy from vaccine manufacturers 
All must register in CoWin App
States like TN announced FREE vaccine campaign at all Govt hospitals Vaccines will be available at differential price for Govt hospitals and private to buy from manufacturers Covishield is given to private at ₹600 Covaxin is given to private at ₹1,200
Expect private hospitals to charge 200-300₹ per dose, if you prefer so.
In TN both ADMK & DMK announced free vaccine in manifesto, so it should be free for all if you chose Govt hospital.

If people can afford and chose private hospitals - why should Govt provide it free ? Is it not prudent to spend that for other critical expenses ?
