Pakistan will get a third batch of 500,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine from China as a gift, an official said on Tuesday.
Nosheen Hamid, the parliamentary health secretary, told reporters that Beijing will provide another half-million doses of Sinopharm vaccine as a gift in the next few weeks.
China has already donated one million doses in two batches to its longtime South Asian ally.
A Health Ministry official who declined to be named told Anadolu Agency that the promised doses will be delivered by the end of April.
