KARACHI (Dunya News) - The daughter and son-in-law of the former Sindh Governor and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Muhammad Zubair received out of turn COVID-19 vaccine jabs on Sunday, Dunya News reported.
According to sources, Sindh had received 83,000 doses of the vaccine all of which were meant to be provided to the frontline health workers and persons above 65 years age.
