However, there is no confirmation as yet, whether Islamabad would accept the Indian offer for health purposes for Pakistani diplomats and their families. India has approved two vaccines that are made in India — Serum Institute’s Oxford Astrazeneca (Covishield) and Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin. Earlier the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (Drap) had approved AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use.
