Whom to Prioritize For Vaccination Besides Frontline Workers?
A user on internet maintained that taxpayers in the country are only around 3 million and if they die, how Pakistan is going to survive
The vaccination against coronavirus in Pakistan is currently available to elderlies and frontline health workers and is expected to reach ‘All’ after Eid, however, a netizen suggested to prioritize income taxpayers for the jabs.
“Income-Tax Payers should be given vaccine first”, the user wrote.
The user maintained that taxpayers in the country are only around 3 million and if they die, he questioned, “how Pakistan is going to survive?”, so emphasized to prioritize them for vaccination.

“We will be able to vaccinate more than 125,000 people per day after Eid,” Umar told media in a press conference last week.
A number of Pakistani citizens backed the suggestion, however, a few went sarcastic.
Wow !! what a great suggestion. They should get vaccine non filer tax from non-filers and ask them to file their return first to get vaccinated apart from dosing vulnerable segments of the society.

Vaccination process in Pakistan kicked off on February 2 with the first phase focused on vaccinating the frontline health workers.
The country’s inoculation drive began when 1.2 million doses of Sinopharm vaccine were gifted by China in February.
