ISLAMABAD: The UAE embassy in Pakistan rolled out a COVID-19 vaccination program that lasted two days and ended on Friday, a press statement said, making it one of the first institutions in the country to get all its employees and representative officers vaccinated.
The vaccine used was by Chinese state-run company Sinopharm, which was first approved in the UAE and was later authorized by Pakistan’s drug regulatory authority. Sinopharm has already been used by more than two million people in the UAE-- which is on its way to vaccinate half of its population in the first quarter of the year.
The UAE envoy said the embassy’s vaccination program in Pakistan was based on a “commitment towards social responsibility” and to contribute in efforts to preserving the safety and health of communities.
