ISLAMABAD, (MANEND NEWS): Pakistan has achieved a major
milestone of administering 10 million doses of anti-Covid vaccine.
A ceremony marking the achievement was held at the National
Command and Operation Center in Islamabad on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister for Planning, Development and
Special Initiatives Asad Umer expressed satisfaction over the
vaccination drive. He, however, said we have a long way to go as our
target is to vaccinate seventy million people by the end of this year.
Asad Umar said about three hundred thousand to three hundred and
fifty thousand people on daily basis are registering themselves for the
vaccination.
The Minister for Planning said the measures taken in the wake of third
wave of Covid-19 have shown positive results and there is a visible
reduction in the positivity ratio. He, however, said that three thousand
people are still on critical care in hospitals and the threat is not over
yet.
Asad Umar appealed to all segments of the society to increasingly
participate in the vaccination drive as it is the only way to lift all the
Covid related restrictions in the country.
Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad Hussain
was also present on the occasion.
