Govt trying alternative sources for vaccine: Zahid Malik

Due to the uncertainty to avail Covid-19 vaccine from India, the country is now looking for alternative sources from China, Russia and the USA, said Health Minister Zahid Malik on Tuesday.
He said that 10 rich countries of the world already bought 70 per cent of the vaccine which created a worldwide shortage.    
“Our honourable prime minister repeatedly requested the Indian prime minister in this regard. We will get the vaccine shortly,” he said in a press briefing.
He added; "We ordered 3 crore doses of vaccines and paid in full but did not get the complete shipment."
