Karachi: Covid-19 Vaccines around the world to prevent the coronavirus have disrupted air travel for people, especially importers, exporters, and industrialists. Other countries, including the United States, Europe, Canada, and the United Kingdom, have refused to recognize the Chinese-made vaccine. Traders are also facing severe difficulties.
The Chinese-made vaccines “Synopham” and “Synovik” are being used in Pakistan, while complaints of blood clots in the British-made vaccine “AstraZeneca” have made people afraid to use the vaccine. Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Madrina were not readily available in Pakistan. However, a few days ago, the vaccine Pfizer was imported to Pakistan, which is being offered only in specialized and expensive hospitals. They have difficulty visiting other countries, including the United States, Europe, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and are not issuing visas.
In this regard, former Vice President and former Regional Chairman Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, former President Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry Haji Irfan Yousuf said that I am an authentic businessman of Pakistan and have done hundreds of business trips abroad. I administered the Code 19 vaccine on May 3, 2021, and the second dose on May 31, 2021. I was not aware of the Canadian Immigration Policy that the (Synovik) Covid-19 vaccine is not acceptable for visits in Canada and Canada Immigration. Authorities are only recognizing the AstraZeneca, Modernna, Pfizer (CoV-19 vaccine), although I have to make the necessary visit to Canada next month for business purposes, Canadian immigration restrictions have made it very difficult.
Haji Irfan Yousuf has asked the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi to take up travel the issue with the Ministry of Canada United States, United Kingdom, and other European countries to accept the Covid-19 vaccine used In Pakistan.
Haji Irfan Yousaf said that the question is whether those who have already taken both doses of the Covid 19 vaccine (Synovik or SynoPham) should get the certificate or administer the dosage of another vaccine.
Another businessman, Abdullah Zaki, said it was a fact that Pakistani exporters were facing problems with trips abroad after being vaccinated with “Synopham” and “Synovik” vaccines and that the federal government had taken immediate action to address the issue. If we do not give and do not talk to the United States, Europe, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries, then Pakistan’s exports will be hurt, so the government should pay attention to the problems of the covid-19 vaccine on a priority basis and talk to the governments of these countries that China Vaccines are approved by the World Health Organization so that travelers who have taken “Synopham” and “Synovik” should not be barred from entering these countries and being issued visas.
