Rawalpindi: Shortage of Chinese Sinopharm vaccine has been reported from several vaccination centres in Pakistan's Rawalpindi city, media reports said on Thursday.
Pakistan is witnessing another wave of the COVID-19 pandemic at present.
Mohammad Rafiq, 45, a resident of Yousaf Colony, visited the vaccination centre established at Jan Marriage Hall on Chaudhry Bostan Khan Road for the second dose of Sinopharm but he was told to visit the centre after two days as the vaccine was in short supply, reports Dawn News.
People faced similar troubles in other centres as well.
“I visited Shehbaz Sharif Sports Complex vaccination centre and the staff refused to give the second dose,” Mohammad Nisar told Dawn News.
Staff at the Lahore High Court Rawalpindi bench vaccination centre informed lawyers that there was a shortage of the Sinopharm vaccine, reports the Pakistani newspaper.
