Pakistan develops home made anti-Covid-19 vaccine with help of China

Pakistan on Tuesday launched its homemade Covid-19 vaccine named “PakVac” which it developed with the help of its ally China in order to vaccinate people in the country and bring under control the spread of coronavirus cases in the nation.

Special Assistant Health Dr Faisal Sultan said that Pakistan is trying to overcome the difficult challenges and turn them into opportunities with the help of friends. “We found our friend China closest to us in overcoming the Covid-19 challenge,” he said at the launch ceremony here, adding that China provided the raw material for the vaccine but still it was not easy to develop it.

Dr Sultan said the local mass production of the vaccine will begin in the coming days.
