The news was shared by Asad Umar, who also heads the National Command and Operations Center (NCOC).

The minister stated that there has been an increase in the registration for the coronavirus jabs and so far more than 500,000 people have registered for the vaccine.

He urged everyone aged above 40 to register themselves for the coronavirus vaccination.

الحمد للہ ایک دن میں ویکسین لگنے کی تعداد کل 2 لاکھ سے تجاوز کر گئی. لوگوں کے ریجسٹر کرنے کے رفتار میں بھی اضافہ ہوا ہے اور اب تک رجسٹر کرنے والوں کی تعداد 50 لاکھ سے تجاوز کر گئی ہے. اگر 40 سال یا اس سے زیادہ عمر ہے تو جلد رجسٹر کریں. اور ساتھ میں حفاظتی اقدامات جاری رکھیں
