Islamabad: 29 November 2020: Pakistan is in the grip of a second wave of the coronavirus.Vaccine for widespread use will not be available before Quarter two of 2021 at least, says Dr Faisal Sultan. We have two committees.
One is an experts' committee that looks into which vaccine we should get. This committee gave us names of around six which showed potential.
The other committee will decide the future course of action.Now, you have to see whether a vaccine is even available to you or not. And let's say you have a vaccine but its technology is something you don't have. To be honest, none of the options is off the table. We will see which vaccines are earliest available to us.
What we have decided is that our priority is front-line workers and people who are aged over 60. They will get the first available set of vaccines. While we have not placed any orders as yet, we are in very active negotiations with five or six manufacturers. Ideally speaking, what is our timeline for the vaccine?
