Pakistan is all set to receive 2.5 million doses of Moderna as the White House in its recent statement has announced the approval of 2.5 doses of Moderna for Pakistan.
The shipment of the Moderna vaccine to Pakistan comes amid protest by overseas Pakistanis who are stuck in the country as they have not been inoculated with vaccines approved by several countries.
Saudi Arabia and some other countries in the Middle East are not accepting certificates of the Chinese-manufactured Sinopharm and Sinovac vaccine.
Saudi Arabia has updated its travel restrictions, which includes requirements to take Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson in order to enter the kingdom, leaving out Sinopharm and Sinovac despite it being approved by the World Health Organization.
