ISLAMABAD:
The stakeholders speaking at a webinar have suggested the Covid-19 vaccine donors to strictly monitor the distribution and administration of free doses being donated to the government of Pakistan.
They alleged that free vaccine doses might be grabbed by unscrupulous elements having links in the government and sold on high prices as was done in the case of Covid-19 free testing-kits.
The trust deficit between the people and the government has widened, speakers said at the webinar was organised by the Development Communications Network (Devcom-Pakistan) and the DTN. They stressed the need for external monitoring and control mechanisms for the Covid-19 vaccination to be in place to benefit the genuinely needy ones and the frontline workers and aged people.
