The single-dose vaccine has been developed in cooperation with the Chinese pharmaceutical firm, Cansino Bio Inc. After clearing rigorous clinical trials, the vaccine will be made available for public use by the end of this month.

Last month, a special plant at the National Institute of Health (NIH) was set up to locally process the vaccine after the raw material was obtained from China.

Now, NIH will be able to produce 3 million doses of PakVac every month. Currently, 124,000 jabs are at hand for use on citizens.

This is an effort to reduce Pakistan’s dependence on other countries for COVID jabs.
