Pak to purchase 1.2 mn vaccine doses from China

Pakistan will purchase 1.2 million Covid-19 vaccine doses from China's Sinopharm, a minister said on Thursday, the first official confirmation of a vaccine purchase by the South Asian country as it battles a second wave of infections. China has approved Sinopharm for general public use. Pakistan had earlier this month approved $150 million in funding to buy Covid-19 vaccines, initially to cover the most vulnerable 5% of the population.
