He said that the moderna vaccine would be given to those going abroad on work and study visas to countries who are only accepting certain vaccine and their certification.
He further said that US President Joe Biden’s progressive covid policy is highly appreciated.
It may be recalled that the Ministry of Health had said yesterday that the United States would send 2.5 million doses of the moderna vaccine to Pakistan today.
More doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine are expected this month, while a shortage of Pfizer, AstraZeneca in Islamabad has exacerbated the plight of those traveling abroad.
