Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Health Dr Faisal Sultan said on Wednesday that 70 per cent of the country's population will receive the COVID-19 vaccine by the current year's end.

"The vaccines will be administered in a phased process, with frontline healthcare workers being the first ones to receive the doses," Dr Faisal said while addressing a presser at the National Command and Control Centre (NCOC) in Islamabad as the drive kicked-off nationwide.

"The population eligible to receive the doses technically totals 100 million and only those above the age of 18 can receive it," he added.
