As you may have heard that multiple companies have already prepared their vaccines such as Pfizer, Gamelaya, among many others. There is still a need for more vaccine trails before the companies can shift the vaccines to the general public. For this purpose, they have been conducting phase 3 of the vaccine trials in which thousands of people take part.
Fortunately, Pakistan is part of the phase 3 trials being conducted by the Chinese company CanSinoBio in collaboration with the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology China. For this, more than 10,000 people from Pakistan have to volunteer in the first version of the phase 3 trials. Phase 1 and 2 trials have already been conducted which means that the vaccine is considered safe for further trials.
Unfortunately, according to sources Pakistan has only received around 2000-3000 volunteers in Karachi for this purpose. We should actively take part in these trails so that the approval process happens quickly and the vaccines can be given to those in need.
That is why today, we are making a guide so that you can know more about the COVID-19 trials being conducted in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi. The overall process is pretty simple which we will describe first.
The vaccine trials are pretty simple and usually take around 3 hours to conduct.
