Out of 230 mil which 13 mil will get it?

2.3亿人口，这1300万剂给谁接种呢？

It's me

Too little and too late. 13 million Pfizer only, who will be the recipient this time?

太少也太晚了。才1300万剂，这次谁能接种?

Taimur

@A, We all know which 13 million will get it :). For general public there will be Chinese vaccine

我们都知道这1300万剂是给谁接种的。对于普通公众，就接种中国疫苗吧

Please include expectant mothers in the priority group so that they can receive the Pfizer vaccine. They too are immunocompromised

Shame...India makes vaccines...Pakistan still wants for charity n alms

丢人……印度生产疫苗…巴基斯坦仍然需要别人施舍

Amir Shah

@Chris, Pakistan is buying needs and not getting it free,

@Chris不是免费的，是巴基斯坦买的。

Amir Shah

Great work by Pakistan yet again in securing such quantities of vaccine considering some of the developed countries like Japan are still struggling to get vaccine.

鉴于日本等发达国家仍在努力获得疫苗，巴基斯坦一下买了这么多疫苗，做得好。

Amir Shah

@A, the ones who need it urgently, Pakistan has been vaccinating much better than some of the developed countries and have vaccinated millions more during the last 4 months and not all 230 million will need vaccination.

巴基斯坦接种的疫苗比一些发达国家好得多，在过去4个月里，已经为数百万人接种了，并不是2.3亿人都需要接种疫苗。

Tremendous effort. Even iron brother didn’t supply this many vaccines. Long live PMIK.

Umair - Canada

India vaccinated 8.5 million in one day !!!  13m is just not enough for 2 days in that speed.!

印度每天接种850万剂疫苗！

以这样的速度，1300万剂都不够接种两天。

Sazzad

@Umair - Canada, have you considered gigantic number of population in India with huge population of Pakistan?

@Umair - Canada，你考虑过印度和巴基斯坦的巨大的人口差距吗?

Simple Logic

@Disha Arora, Pakistan paid for these vaccines and has set aside $1Bn for vaccines in the recent budget

巴基斯坦花钱买这些疫苗，并在最近的预算中预留了10亿美元用于购买疫苗

Ahmadi

Living off donations for ever.

永远靠捐赠生活。

Mushahid

Every now and then importing couple of million doses is not the solution; country's policy makers and leaders ought to think long term by investing in develo and manufacturing 100% locally developed vaccine!

时不时地进口几百万剂并不是解决办法

国家的决策者和领导人应该考虑长远，投资研发本土疫苗，并在本土生产!

Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad

Great move and wonderful news.
