Pakistan reported 700 new cases in a day
Islamabad: Citizens above or of the age of 30 years can get their booster shot starting today.
According to the National Command and Operation Centre, people who got both doses of their coronavirus vaccine at least six months back are eligible for the booster jab.
The vaccine will be administered free of cost. Only Sinopharm, Sinovac, and Pfizer will be given as booster shots. You can go to any vaccination centre in your city for the shot.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Pakistan reported 700 new cases in a day — the first time since October 2021. The positivity rate, too, has risen to 1.55%.
Earlier on Sunday, NCOC chief Asad Umar warned that there’s clear evidence of the beginning of the 5th wave of coronavirus infections in Pakistan. He said that most of the cases of the Omicron variant are surfacing in Karachi.
According to experts, Omicron spreads four times faster than the Delta variant which overwhelmed the health system of India and other countries in 2021.
