Covid-19: Sindh to initiate vaccination drive in all educational institutions

The decision was taken into a high-level meeting held in Karachi.

The meeting decided that the health department's 2,527 teams would participate in the vaccination drive against the Corona pandemic.

In the first phase, the vaccine campaign would commence at the district level which would later be extended to a sub-division level.

Reportedly, the vaccinations will first start at the district level and will later be extended to the taluka level.

Meanwhile, the health minister directed the schools’ administrations to take the consent of parents for vaccinating children.

However, the health ministry stated that it will complete all necessary arrangements within a week before initiating the vaccination process.
