The head of the National Center for Command and Operations (NCOC), Asad Umar, asked the World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday to decide on the acceptance of the vaccine.
He posted on social media saying:
“vaccine acceptability decisions have to be taken by a global institution like WHO. Each country deciding which vaccine is acceptable for travel to that country is creating chaos. The health & well being of world citizens cannot become hostage to global geostrategic rivalries”.
Most of the vaccines given to people in Pakistan are Chinese vaccines, except for AstraZeneca, which arrives via Covax.
Countries, including Saudi Arabia, do not receive China’s vaccine. Sinopharm is registered with WHO.
