ISLAMABAD: Pakistanis travelling abroad can get additional coronavirus vaccine doses from September 1, according to the requirements of the country they are heading to.
“Additional vaccination to travellers will be administered at select immunisation centres. A fee of Rs1,270 will be charged from them,” a notification issued on Saturday stated.
The payment of the vaccine can be deposited at all branches of the National Bank of Pakistan.
Earlier this week, the government decided to open a special vaccination category for people who require a particular vaccine to travel abroad. There are two conditions for this. The government is mulling over starting booster shots for health workers and people with weak immune systems. If this is approved, the vaccination will begin from October 1.
On Friday, Pakistan reached another milestone of vaccinating over 50 million people across the country. The NCOC has urged people to get the second dose of the vaccine after 28 days. They don’t have to wait for another SMS from the government.
