It is to be noted that President of Pakistan Dr Arif Alvi and Defence Minister Pervez Khattak had tested positive for COVID-19 coronavirus on Monday a day earlier, whereas PM Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi had also contracted the novel virus on March 20th last week.
Both PM Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi had in fact received first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. However, it is pertinent to know that the COVID-19 vaccine administered to both of them comprised of two doses and it takes few weeks for the body to develop anti-bodies after the vaccine jab.
