The court granted one week's time to government to decide the price of the jabs.

KARACHI (Dunya News) – Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday gave federal government one week to fix price for coronavirus vaccine imported by private sector.

During the hearing of the case regarding import of one million doses of the coronavirus vaccine, the counsel of the private company asked the court to allow them to release consignments of the imported jabs. Government mislead the company in importing the vaccine and now it is not allowing sale of jabs, he added.

The court asked lawyers of DRAP that why price of the vaccine has not been fixed and how the japs were imported if price was not set by the authorities. The court granted one week’s time to government to decide the price of the jabs.
