Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar had said earlier that the government would open registration for all citizens after Eidul Fitr.

He said so far 14,000 people had received vaccination through the private sector, while 1.1 million were inoculated as part of the government campaign.
The minister said China was Pakistan's "Primary source" for vaccination for now, adding that the Cansino Covid-19 vaccine will also be available in the country after Eid.
"We’ll be able to vaccinate more than 125,000 people per day after Eid,” said Asad Umar
He said with concern that the current number of critical care patients in the country was higher than during the first coronavirus wave.
“Strict enforcement of SOPs (standard operating procedures) can bring down the rising rate of infection,” he stressed. Pakistan reported 5,329 coronavirus cases and 98 deaths during the last 24 hours. This is the highest number of daily Covid-19 infections so far this year as well as the highest since June 16, 2020, when 5,090 cases were reported.
