The Pakistan federal cabinet on Tuesday approved allocating $150 million to procure coronavirus vaccine and reducing the cost of injections needed to treat the virus.

With the announced reduction, a 100mg injection of Remdesivir will now cost Rs5,680 instead of Rs9,244.

The cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan, also decided that health workers fighting on the frontline and people over 65 years of age would be vaccinated in the first phase.
