The Peninsula
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan will import more coronavirus vaccines made by China's CanSino Biologics next month, equivalent to 3 million doses, the minister in charge for COVID-19 operations said on Tuesday.
Pakistan began a vaccination drive last month with over a million doses of Sinopharm vaccines donated by long-time ally China, but is scrambling to get more supplies as it awaits WHO/COVAX/GAVI allocations of AstraZeneca's vaccine, which have been delayed. "We will be getting the bulk vaccine by mid-April from CanSino, from which 3 million doses can be made," the minister, Asad Umar said on Twitter.More Related News
