Isn’t the MSRP for those vaccine doses something north of $10k each? In addition to being a really dumb thing to do, it also sounds like a potentially ruinous amount of financial damage if the hospital tries to recover the funds.
I couldn’t read due to the paywall but really wonder what would be going through someone’s head to do that... it’s one thing to not want a vaccine (personally I’d rather wait a bit), but another to actively sabotage one of the biggest medical initiatives in our lifetime.
- bamboleo 6y agoI don’t know for sure, but from what I read the cost per dose is under USD 40 since a lot of governments already invested billions into their research. If they asked 10k per vial after all of that money it’d be a huge slap in the face.
- Swenrekcah 6y agoI thought the doses ranged from around $3 - $100 depending on the type. But I also can’t read the article so I don’t know which vaccine it was.

- zamadatix 6y agoPfizer charges $19.50 per dose ($39 per 2 round vaccination). You might want to be more cautious about the place you heard MSRP is $10,000 per dose, it's clearly not that price at the volume it's being distributed.

It depends what your government has negotiated with the drug company, but generally somewhere between 10 and 20 euro a dose, or under 5 euro a dose for Oxford.
