People who are going abroad will get free booster jabs by showing their travel documents at vaccination centres
Islamabad: Keeping in view a surge in COVID-19 cases, the government Saturday announced that passengers seeking to travel abroad could get free booster doses.
Per notification issued by the Ministry of Health, the government has decided to abolish booster shot fees.
People who are going abroad will get free booster jabs by showing their travel documents at vaccination centres, the notification said, adding that the booster dose is already free for the general public.
Previously, Rs1,250 was being charged for the booster shot from those who were travelling abroad.
On January 14, the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) announced all citizens above 18 years can get the coronavirus vaccine's booster jab, as the Omicron variant pushes infections across the country.
The free booster dose will be administered to people after a six-month gap from when their vaccination was completed.
