Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar says the third wave of coronavirus is more lethal as compared to previous as its mortality rate is also higher.
Talking to a private news channel, he said the vaccination registration for people aged 50 or above would open in coming 10 days.
The Minister said those who are 60 or above must get registered their names for vaccination because coronavirus can hit them easily.
