What happened:

Dr Nausheen Hamid, the Parliamentary Secretary for National Health Services Regulations and Coordination (NHSRC), said that once Pakistan had procured the Covid-19 vaccine it will be administered to citizens free of cost.

In an interview with a private news channel Dr. Hamid stated that once its “efficacy is proved” it will be made available.
