While talking with (mnm.com.pk) This morning, Dr Faisal Sultan said that there was no significant difference in the rate of infection in children infected with the corona virus. It is not that many young people are suffering from this disease. The first and second waves also reported cases of corona virus in young people, so the third wave did not increase it dangerously.
Regarding vaccination, he said that 800,000 people over the age of 60 have registered while 250,000 Pakistanis have been vaccinated so far.

Regarding the cost of private vaccines, he said the court would fix the price in a week.
