In a bid to vaccinate masses against the novel coronavirus, the federal government has decided to buy vaccines worth $1 billion.

China had promised to provide 500,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine to Pakistan by January 31

Beijing's top diplomat pledged Saturday to donate half a million coronavirus vaccine shots to the Philippines, Manila officials said -- despite growing resistance there to Chinese-made jabs over concerns about their efficacy.

"We are in talks with China, Russia and some other countries for procurement of the COVID-19 vaccine," he said.

The promise of COVID-19 vaccines is “phenomenal” and “potentially game-changing”, World Health Organization European director Hans Kluge said on Thursday, a day after Britain became the first Western country to approve a shot.
