Pakistan expects to receive Pfizer's new Covid-19 vaccine from America in a few days.

Reportedly, the arrival of 200,000 doses of Covid vaccine from the US is expected in a few days and another 300,000 doses of the new Pfizer Covid vaccine will also be received in the same month.

Pfizer's new vaccine is also effective against a new variant of Covid-19 i.e. JN1 which is currently spreading rapidly in America, Britain, India, and other countries.

However, no case of the new variant JN1 has been reported in Pakistan so far and the positivity ratio of Covid-19 cases in Pakistan is less than one percent.

The new Covid-19 vaccine will be administered to pilgrims and high-risk people.
