On Sunday, the federal minister for planning Asad Umar claimed that more than 2.3 million Pakistanis have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in the past week.
Amid the shortage of coronavirus vaccines across the country, the federal minister ensured the public that the current deficiency will be gone soon as millions of doses are expected to arrive within a week.
The minister who also heads the National Command and Operations Center (NCOC), took to Twitter and shared that in the past week (between 12-18 June), more than 2.3 million doses were administered across the country at a rate of 332,877 per day making it the highest 7-day tally so far in any week.
Umar also announced that 1.5 million vaccines will be arriving today i.e. on Sunday and another almost 5 million in the next 10 days, which will eliminate the problem of vaccine shortage, and hoped that the next week the country will set a new record for vaccination doses administered in a week.
As per the NCOC reports, the latest coronavirus vaccines figures of Pakistan are as follows:
Partially Vaccinated: 6,945,344
Fully Vaccinated: 3,457,578
Total Doses Administered: 12,977,740
4.6% is a share of the total population that has received at least one vaccine dose. (This may not equal the share that is fully vaccinated if the vaccine requires two doses.)
3.1% is the share of people only partly vaccinated against COVID-19.
1.5% is the share of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
