Five hospitals that took part in clinical trials for the vaccine will be provided the doses for commercial sale, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan is in the process of vaccinating frontline healthcare workers and citizens over the age of 60 free of charge using Sinopharm doses donated by China.<\/p>\n<p>The commercial administration of vaccines is yet to begin as the government settles pricing issues for the private sector, after reversing its decision to allow uncapped prices.<\/p>\n<p>CanSino Biologics and Pakistan\u2019s Health Minister Faisal Sultan did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan is in the midst of a sharp rise in COVID-19 infections, and on Saturday reported the highest number of positive cases in day since July last year.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-coronavirus-pakistan-vaccine\/pakistan-to-start-private-imports-of-cansino-covid-19-vaccine-for-sale-this-week-idUSKBN2BE0N3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: A logo of China&#8217;s vaccine specialist CanSino Biologics Inc is pictured on the company&#8217;s headquarters in Tianjin, China August 17, 2020.
