Pakistan will get 6 million doses of Estrezinka vaccine from Kovacs to March, Asad Umar

Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar has said that Pakistan will get 6 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine by March.

In a tweet on the social networking site, Asad Umar said, “There is good news about the corona vaccine. In the second half of 2021, there will be 17 million doses of estrogen.”

“Six million of these rations will be available by March, starting in February,” he said.

“We had an agreement with Kovacs about eight months ago to ensure the supply of the vaccine,” he said.

On the other hand, Dr. Faisal Sultan, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Health, said, “I am pleased to announce that in addition to the 500,000 doses of Cyanoform, about 7 million doses of AstraZeneca will be available to the public free of charge.”

“The vaccine campaign in Pakistan is starting with healthcare workers starting next week,” he said in a statement on Twitter.

“We are confident that we will be able to implement a large-scale vaccination plan in the coming months of this year,” he said.

Covex is an alliance of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), the Coalition for Epidemic Prevention Innovations (CEPI) and the World Health Organization (WHO), which was formed in April last year.

The coalition is committed to providing free corona vaccine to 20% of the population in various countries, including Pakistan.

Pakistan has so far approved three corona vaccines, including Oxford-AstraZeneca, China’s Cyanoform and Russia’s Sputnik Five vaccines.

However, the AstraZeneca vaccine has been the subject of controversy as its effectiveness has been called into question, and it could face possible legal action over delays in the delivery of the vaccine to the European Union.

The Robert Koch Institute in Germany questioned its usefulness for people over the age of 65, citing data from experimental stages of the vaccine.
