PM Khan had received the first dose of his COVID-19 vaccine on March 18. Interacting with the media after receiving his shot, PM had urged everyone to get vaccinated for the virus. It is pertinent to add here that PM Imran is yet to receive the second dose of the vaccine, which will be administered to him after a month.
The Ministry of National Health Services also clarified that PM Khan was “not fully vaccinated when he contracted the virus”.
“He only got the first dose and merely two days ago which is too soon for any vaccine to become effective,” asserted the minister, adding: “Anti-bodies develop 2-3 weeks after the second dose of COVID vaccines.”

وزیراعظم عمران خان کا کورونا مثبت آنے کا مطلب یہ نہیں ہے کہ ویکسین غیر موثر تھی۔ ویکسین سے اینٹی باڈیز بننے میں 14 دن لگتے ہیں لہذا تمام امکانات میں ویکسی نیشن کے وقت وزیر اعظم پہلے ہی کورونا کا شکار ہو چکے تھے- شکوک و شبہات پیدا کرنے سے اجتناب کرنا ہوگا سبکو ویکسین لگانی چاہئے
