On May 3, Pakistan opened the coronavirus vaccination registry for people aged 40 to 49 across the country and subsequently began walk-in vaccination for people of the same age group.
The federal government has launched a digital registration portal through which a person is assigned a code and can then go to a designated vaccination center and receive a shot.
