On Tuesday, three million doses of the Sinovac vaccine reached Pakistan on board a PIA flight, PK-6852.

More doses of Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines would be flown in from China this month. The government has purchased as many as 23 million doses of the Sinopharm vaccine, the sources added.

On Friday, Pakistan received 2.5 million doses of the Moderna vaccine from the US. “The United States Mission to Pakistan is pleased to share these safe and effective vaccines with the people of Pakistan,” said U.S. Embassy Chargé d’affaires Angela P. Aggeler.
