KARACHI: Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday directed the federal government to fix within a week the price of Covid-19 vaccine jabs imported by the private sector. The firm’s counsel said the regulator had allowed the import of vaccine on February 2 under certain conditions, following which the company imported one million doses of Russian Sputnik-V vaccine. A DRAP counsel requested the court to not allow the sale of the vaccine until its price is fixed by the federal cabinet. He said the firm couldn’t be allowed to fix the vaccine price as the authority to do so rests with the government. The counsel for the firm demanded the government allow it to re-export the vaccine if it’s not being allowed to sell it.
