The shipment of Covid vaccines is part of an ongoing US vaccine diplomacy effort that has sent vaccines to a number of countries.
On Friday, US Chargé d’affaires for Pakistan Angela P. Aggeler said “the US is proud to partner with Pakistan to inoculate Pakistanis’ arms with an effective and life-saving Pfizer vaccine. Pakistan has done a great job of distributing the donated vaccine”.
The South Asian country has inoculated at least 93,551,193 doses of COVID vaccines so far – around 21.6 percent of the country’s population.
