Following the announcement, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Minister Taimur Jhagra has lauded the NCOC, SAPM on Health Dr. Faisal Sultan, and NCOC chief Asad Umar for doing a tremendous job.
2. The NCOC, @Asad_Umar & @fslsltn have done a tremendous job of ensuring a smooth vaccine roll out across Pakistan. With vaccine also arriving in the private sector for those who can afford to pay, the next few months should see the vaccination campaign roll out in full swing.
