Sindh initiates COVID vaccination drive in all educational institutes

The decision was taken in a high-level meeting held in Karachi. The meeting decided that the health department's 2,527 teams would participate in the vaccination drive.

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

Following the campaign, 1.4 million students from grades nine to 12 would be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.

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.
