The vaccination process in the main cities of Punjab has been continued with a delay of several days due to the scarcity of COVID-19 vaccines.
As per the Lahore deputy commissioner, the Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines are already available in the centers, but those who need the AstraZeneca vaccine should wait longer. The government received a new shipment of Sinovac vaccine from China, which helped restart the vaccination process in Punjab districts, including Bahawalpur and Multan.
