The demand to this effect was made by Sindh Law and Environment Adviser, Barrister Murtaza Wahab, while speaking at a press conference here on Wednesday. Wahab is also the spokesman for the Sindh government. “I would now request the federal government that the age restriction should be withdrawn as every Pakistani more than 18 years should be permitted to get the vaccine,” said Wahab.
