The coronavirus vaccination drive for Pakistanis above 18 years will start after Eid if there are no problems with vaccine availability, Federal Planning, Development, Reforms and Special Initiatives Minister Asad Umar said.
The NCOC head did not, however, specify the date on which the drive will start. He remarked that the vaccination drive for Pakistanis above 40 years is currently underway. Our next focus is to open the drive for people falling within the range of 30 to 39 years, he said while speaking on GNN show Clash with Imran Khan on May 3. An announcement will be made soon.

Pakistan government admits “dangerous” third wave of COVID-19 infections
Pakistan’s Islamist populist Tehrik-e-Insaaf government was forced to admit last Thursday that the country is in a “dangerous” situation, due to a fast spreading “third wave” of COVID-19 infections linked to the more contagious B.1.1.7 or “UK” variant.
However, Prime Minister Imran Khan, who in the past has vociferously opposed any measures to fight the pandemic that would impact on Pakistan’s economy, is refusing to order urgently needed social and public health measures to stop the spread of the virus and support the country’s largely impoverished population.
