please ask this approved vaccine price positioning in what range?Zhongwei, head of the vaccine research and development working group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism: Regarding the price of vaccines, we have always adhered to the main body of the enterprise when pricing. But there are two principles that must be followed when it came to corporate pricing. The first principle is the
of public goods, and the second principle, since it is
public goods, can only be based on cost pricing. As we all know, the cost of a product, its influence factors are also quite a lot, and its production scale, the scale of use is closely related. I think with the approval of the vaccine conditional on the market, we are ready for large-scale production is about to start, and our immunization program is about to be pushed out. As the director has just introduced, we will carry out the first step of high-risk groups, key groups, the second high-risk groups, the third step of the whole population vaccination. As the work is pushed away, costs will drop significantly. In any case, we firmly believe that the price of the new coronavirus vaccine must be within the acceptable range of ordinary people.
