The Government of Pakistan has started the second phase of Covid-19 vaccination, which will cater to Health Care Workers and Senior Citizens (above the age of 60). The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) has allowed vaccination of the elderly with China’s Sinopharm vaccine.
Before this, the vaccine was administered to 339 elderly people in China, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain and found to have caused no major side-effects among senior citizens.
In this step by step guide, we will explain to you the process of getting the vaccine for you and your loved ones.
