Days after the Centre capped the cost of vaccines at private facilities, the BMC on Friday appealed to citizens, housing societies and companies to report to it if they are overcharged. It asked the public to write to it on complaint.epimumbai@gmail.com. Vaccines will continue to be given for free at municipal centres. 

On June 8, the central government said that private centres can collect the rate paid to the manufacturer, a GST of 5 per cent and a maximum service charge of Rs 150 from the beneficiaries. This means a private hospital can charge a maximum Rs 780 for one dose of Covishield, Rs 1,410 for a Covaxin jab and Rs 1,145 for a shot of Sputnik V.
