Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said that only rich countries’ monopoly on coronavirus vaccine is a matter of concern.

In a statement released on social networking site Twitter, Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said that the richest countries have ordered 500 million vaccine doses.

کرونا وائرس کی ویکسین پر صرف امیر ملکوں کی اجارہ داری تشویشناک ہے، پانچ امیر ترین ممالک 500 ملین ویکسین Dose کا آرڈر دےچکے ہیں اس کامطلب یہ ہے کہ ترقی پزیر ممالک کو ویکسین کی فراہمی کو کم از کم دو سال کا عرصہ درکار ہو گا، WHO اور دیگر عالمی اداروں کو اس صورتحال کا ادراک کرنا ہوگا

Fawad Chaudhry said this meant that it will take at least two years for vaccines to reach developing countries

He further said that the World Health Organization and other international organizations must be aware of this situation.

Earlier today, the premier Imran Khan maintained that nearly 50 million people have lost their lives after the breakout of the deadly virus across the world.
