Coronavirus continues to wreak havoc in Pakistan. In such a situation, the government of Imran Khan has approved the sale of Coronavirus Vaccine to the common people. Since then, there is a competition among the youth of the country to buy it. The first round of vaccine sales has begun. Vaccination sites in Karachi say that all the vaccines present here have been sold. It has been told that thousands of Pakistani citizens have purchased the vaccine.
At present, free vaccines are being provided to frontline healthcare workers and people above 50 years of age in neighboring countries. However, Pakistan’s vaccination campaign is very sluggish. Last month, the government approved the private sector to import vaccines for the general public. In the first round vaccine sale, the price of two dose Russian Sputnik V vaccine has been kept at 12 thousand Pakistani rupees ($ 80). The general public can buy vaccine doses at this price.
Competition for buying vaccine among youth
Even after the price of the vaccine is high, people are seeing the excitement of buying it. At many centers in Karachi, people bought the vaccine by putting it in long queues for hours. It is to be noted here that the people standing in these queues were mostly young people, who are not yet eligible for the government’s free vaccination campaign. Saad Ahmed, 34, said after getting the purchased vaccine, “I am very happy to get the vaccine.” I travel most of the time, so I needed it.
Dispute between government and vaccine importers over prices
While on the one hand, the purchase of vaccine for the private sector has started. At the same time, a dispute between the government and importers over the price of the vaccine is ongoing. In fact, in the beginning, the Imran government gave an exemption to the importers to fix the price of the imported vaccine. But later it canceled its decision and said that the government will decide the maximum price of the vaccine. A pharmaceutical company of the country has become so upset with the government that it has dragged the Imran government to court. Where the interim order has come in favor of the company and it has been ordered to sell till the price is fixed.
More than 14 thousand people died of corona
The private sale of vaccine has been given by the Imran government at a time when the corona infection in the country is increasing rapidly. The number of patients in the country’s hospitals is increasing day by day. So far, 6,87,908 people have been caught in the virus in Pakistan. The number of people who lost their lives from Corona is 14,778. There are 3,568 people in the neighboring country who are admitted in the ICU due to infection.
