On Tuesday, Pakistan reached the target of vaccinating one million people a day against Covid-19. The achievement made strides in Pakistan’s inoculation campaign just weeks before a deadline for workers in public-facing roles to obtain vaccination certificates.
The government announced last week that workers in schools, shopping malls, and hospitality businesses, and the transport and air travel industries would be barred from entering public offices unless they show vaccination certificates by the end of this month.
