The applicant is also required to pay Rs100 as fee for the certificate, which will be a documented proof that the holder of the certificate has received vaccine jabs.

The minister, however, did not clarify how the certificate will be useful for people.

Last month, Pakistan launched a drive to vaccinate frontline health workers and later it was extended to people aged above 60. In next phase, people aged above 50 will be administered vaccine.
