Currently, Pakistan is vaccinating people who are 40 plus and healthcare workers with Chinese vaccines.
Furthermore, a digital portal has been launched by the federal government for the registration through which a code is assigned to the person and then they can go to a designated vaccination center and get a jab.
On April 29, the minister had previously announced that over 100,000 people had been vaccinated across Pakistan, for the second consecutive day.
