A special flight carrying the shipment of 100,000 doses of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine landed in Pakistan today, whereas syringes for the vaccination will also arrive in the country in the next two days.

The latest stock of Covid-19 vaccine has been transferred to Expanded Programme on Immunisation warehouse before its usage across Pakistan, INP said.
