    Pakistan gets another one million COVID-19 vaccines from China

    What's the story

    Pakistan has received another batch of one million doses of coronavirus vaccine from China to help it stem the spread of COVID-19 that has infected over 800,000 people and claimed over 17,100 lives in Pakistan.

    Three planes of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) airlifted from China the consignment of one million Chinese-developed Sinopharm vaccines on Sunday. The aircraft had left for China on Saturday.

    Vaccine doses

    Additional two million does will be transported on April 29

    An additional two million doses of COVID-19 vaccines will also be transported from China by the national flag carrier on April 29, said PIA Country Manager for China Qadir Bux Sangi.

    The new consignment arrives as Pakistan struggles to combat the pandemic's third wave, which has threatened the earlier gains against the coronavirus when the country succeeded to contain the first two outbreaks.

    Details

    Pakistan has imposed smart lockdowns, ramped up vaccination programs

    Last month, Pakistan received the second consignment of half a million doses of coronavirus vaccine from China. Earlier, China donated 500,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine on February 1, enabling Pakistan to launch its vaccination drive a day later.

    Pakistan has imposed smart lockdowns, ramped up vaccination programs, and deployed army personnel to help the civil administration in implementing the SoPs.

    Steps taken

    Pakistan has administered more than 1.7 million doses of vaccine

    The government of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa imposed a lockdown in the Mardan district for seven days due to an increase in the rate of infection. Several other localities in the country are also under lockdown.

    Pakistan has administered more than 1.7 million doses of vaccine so far, which is a drop in the ocean for a country with over 220 million population.

    COVID-19 cases

    Pakistan's coronavirus tally crossed 800,000 cases on Monday

    Pakistan's coronavirus tally crossed 800,000 on Monday after 4,825 new cases were detected, while another 70 people succumbed to COVID-19, taking the number of deaths to 17,187, according to the official data.

    The Ministry of National Health Services said 4,862 patients were in critical condition and the number of active patients was 89,219.

    The number of total cases has jumped to 800,452, it said.
