Pakistan’s planning minister says his country has achieved a goal of fully vaccinating 70 million people by the end of 2021.
The announcement Friday comes as Pakistan has recently stepped up its vaccination campaign as the new Omicron variant spreads.
Planning Minister Asad Umar took to Twitter to thank the health workers who worked to meet the goal.
