Ticker received shipment from Pakistan Kovacs

 Pakistan has received a second dose of 1 lakh corona vaccine from the World Health Organization (WHO) project Covax to ensure supply of corona vaccine to economically backward countries.

 The country's main national daily Dawn reported this information in a report on Saturday.

The Dawn reports that a dose of 1 lakh Corona Ticker of the Covax project arrived at the airport in the country's capital Islamabad on Saturday. 

The doses of this vaccine are from Pfizer and Bioentech. Pakistan UNICEF officials have taken these doses.

This is the second time that Kovax's ticker shipment has reached Pakistan. Earlier, in the first week of this month, tick shipments arrived in the country for the first time. 

In that consignment, the WHO sent 12,37,400 doses of Oxford-Astrageneca vaccine to the country.

Officials at Pakistan's health ministry say the country is expected to receive a total dose of 16.2 million ticks from Kovacs.

 In the near future, another 12 lakh 36 thousand doses of corona vaccine will come from Covax, health officials said.

Health officials say the Pakistani government has so far approved five corona vaccines. These are Cinopharm, Cancino, Sinovac, Sputnik and Astrageneca.

The government has also announced that production of one dose of Corona Vaccine Cancino from China under the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Islamabad will start this week.

In a tweet, the government said the NIH would be able to produce 3 million doses of carcinogens per month once the vaccine production process begins. 

As a result, the country will no longer need to import vaccines from abroad.
