Pakistan's Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Health Dr Faisal Sultan has said a special plane would be flown to China in the next couple of days for transportation of the first tranche of Covid-19 vaccine.

“It is expected that the first consignment will have around 500,000 doses of vaccine and administration of vaccine will be started at the earliest,” he said while talking to Dawn.

Earlier, the SAPM chaired a special session on Pakistan’s vaccine strategy held at the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC). Provincial health ministers attended the session via video link. The session deliberated on efficient vaccine movement to various federating units and deployment mechanism.
