Vaccine Price in Pakistan 2026: Flu, Typhoid, Hepatitis B, Rabies and Pneumonia, DRAP Price vs Chughtai
Vaccine price in Pakistan 2026: Influvac Tetra Rs 2,984.85, Vaxigrip Tetra Rs 2,809.80, Prevenar 13 Rs 10,631.72 on DRAP. Compared with Chughtai Lab's prices.
The flu vaccine Influvac Tetra has a DRAP price of Rs 2,984.85 a dose in Pakistan, and Vaxigrip Tetra Rs 2,809.80. Chughtai Lab lists them at Rs 2,758 and Rs 2,596. We checked 10 common vaccines on the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan's price portal and compared each with Chughtai's own list. Below is the full table, the vaccines that are free at government centres, and one price gap to ask about.
We read both lists on 11 November 2026. DRAP's figure is the maximum retail price fixed for the pack, so a pharmacy should not charge more for the vaccine itself. A clinic or lab may add a separate charge for giving the injection. Ask for both numbers before you pay.

Two prices to ask about before you pay
Most of Chughtai's vaccine prices are below DRAP's maximum. Two lines are worth a question at the counter, because the list does not say which product or charge they cover.
- Typhoid: Chughtai lists "Typhim" at Rs 850 and "Typhoid Vaccination" at Rs 1,270. DRAP's price for Typhim Vi is Rs 3,724.50. Ask which brand you will get and whether the price is for the vaccine or only the injection service.
- Hepatitis B for children: Chughtai lists Engerix-B 10mcg at Rs 550. DRAP's price for that vial is Rs 511.61. The Rs 38 gap may be a service charge. Ask.
Chughtai's list also carries separate "vaccination service" lines from Rs 100 to Rs 4,000, without saying when each applies. Ask for the full bill before the injection.

Vaccines you can get free in Pakistan
Children's routine vaccines, including measles, polio, pentavalent and pneumococcal, are free at government EPI centres. You do not need to buy MMR or pentavalent privately for a child on the national schedule.
The schedule and where to go are in our page on the free EPI baby vaccination schedule. Girls aged 9 to 14 can get the HPV vaccine free, as our HPV vaccine page explains. Adults choosing typhoid, hepatitis B, tetanus or flu shots can read our adult vaccine guide.
How to check a vaccine price yourself
DRAP's price portal is public and needs no login. It shows the pack size, the price and the date it took effect.
- Open DRAP's drug pricing index at e.dra.gov.pk/public/price.
- Type the brand name, for example "Influvac" or "Engerix", and search.
- Match the pack size. A 1-dose and a 10-dose pack have different prices.
- Compare with the price on the box and the bill. The box price should not be above DRAP's.
- If you were overcharged, call DRAP's free line 0800-03727. Our guide to the DRAP price index has more detail.

DRAP's prices carry the effective dates shown above. We did not buy a vaccine, so service charges are for you to confirm.
