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 ?
