Pakistan Says China’s Vaccine Not Effective For People Over 60 years

Pakistan on Thursday said that China’s Covid-19 vaccine ‘Sinopharm’ is not effective for people over 60 years of age, a day after the Pak launched its countrywide Covid-19 vaccination drive with the Chinese jabs.

The dragon country gave half a million doses of Sinopharm vaccines to Pakistan on Monday. After receiving the jabs, Pakistan started its countrywide vaccination programme on Wednesday, with the first jabs managed together in all four provinces, a day after PM Imran Khan began the immunisation drive in capital Islamabad.

Pakistan has so far allowed three Covid-19 vaccines for use- China’s Sinopharm vaccine, Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine and the Covishield vaccine developed by Oxford University-AstraZeneca.

Meanwhile, China said that it is currently conducting field trials for 16 vaccines, while it has granted tentative approval to Sinopharm, even as it started supplying it to several countries, including Pakistan.
