The federal government announced on Saturday that it would administer booster Covid vaccine shots to people travelling abroad.
The government has decided to set a fee of Rs1,270 per person for the booster shot. This fee will be deposited in a National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) account.
As per reports, the federal government has sent a handout to the provincial governments as well as Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) governments, asking them to take measures in this regard.
The handout stated that Covid vaccine shots to those planning to travel abroad would be administered at designated centres in the provinces and federal regions.
