The United States has donated additional 5 million doses of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines through the COVAX facility to Pakistan.

"This donation, which should arrive on Christmas Day or shortly thereafter, brings the total number of COVID-19 vaccines donated by the U.S. government to the Pakistani people to more than 37 million," the US embassy said in a statement on Saturday.

“Getting vaccinated is the best gift you can give your loved ones this holiday season. Celebrate the coming new year by getting your jab," the statement quoted US Embassy Islamabad’s Chargé d’affaires Angela P Aggeler as saying.

"These Pfizer vaccines are part of the 500 million Pfizer doses the United States purchased this summer to deliver to 92 countries worldwide, including Pakistan, to fulfill President Biden’s commitment to provide safe and effective vaccines around the world and supercharge the global fight against the pandemic," the statement added.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has administered 148,265,690 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. In a tweet on Saturday, the National Command and Operation Centre said that 1,336,509 doses were administered across the country during the last 24 hours.

thanks USA

 

[Valar.]

Thank you USA and Merry Christmas.

It's highly appreciative as it helps Pakistan a lot not just because of vaccinating people locally but also for those Pakistanis who want to travel abroad and have requirement to get some western vaccine. And ofcourse, the financial cost during this economic crises which Pakistan is facing currently. If each dose costs $10, 37 million free doses save $370 millions and at $15 each, it saves around $550 millions.

I wanted to get a Pfizer booster but hesitant now because of the heart inflammation threat. Has anyone taken Pfizer (any young adult)

It’s a highly unlikely side effect. What you may experience is a day or two of feeling sick as your immune system learns to fight the virus. The Pfizer vaccine is so your body recognizes the spike protein on the virus.

You can look at some analysis of number of people that actually develop myocarditis, and the numbers are very low.

I did, 3 times already.

It's a rare possibility but it might be avoided completely if the nurse aspirates the needle in your shoulder.
However more research needs to be made.

I know all that but young adults can develop heart inflammation from mRNA vaccines. My family has some history of heart illness so I don't want to take the chance.

I wouldn't accept this.. Even if I did out of good gesture I wouldn't use it.. Becoming sterile out of these is a risk.. Taking vaccines and stuff like that without proper trials is risky
