Moderna jabs set aside for expats Ag APP ISLAMABAD: Pakistanis who are going abroad have to produce a foreign work permit to get the Moderna coronavirus vaccine, which is approved in Western and Gulf countries. Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination Nosheen Hamid on Tuesday said overseas Pakistanis could get vaccinated with the Moderna jab on producing either a work permit or a passport — presumably with a valid visa — to travel abroad. The Pfizer BioNtech, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines are in high demand in Pakistan because the Chinese-made vaccines — Sinovac and Sinopharm — while approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO), have yet to clear Western and Gulf countries’ regulators, leaving Pakistanis who want to travel abroad clamouring to get vaccinated with Western-developed jabs.
