Sinopharm jab use for people over 60 allowed Dawn 06/03/2021 none@none.com (Ikram Junaidi)
ISLAMABAD: In line with three other Asian countries, the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (Drap) has allowed Chinese Sinopharm vaccine to be administered to people over the age of 60.
Earlier, the authority had allowed the vaccine to be given to frontline healthcare workers who were below the age of 60 and those above the age group were to be administered the Oxford’s AstraZeneca vaccine which was due in the first week of the current month. However, its delivery has been delayed for a couple of weeks.
Now Drap has given a go-ahead to healthcare workers over 60 years to get themselves inoculated with the Sinopharm vaccine without any delay.
