Multan to speed up vaccination drive
Divisional administration decided to speed up coronavirus vaccination drive under the directions of provincial government.
Presiding over meeting to review Covid-19 vaccination drive on Wednesday, Multan Commissioner Dr Irshad Ahmad said that mobile teams were visiting educational institutions to inoculate minors above 12 years of age.
He directed officials concerned to ensure online entry of students’ vaccination at all cost and urged the people to not pay any attention to rumours about vaccination because it was the only way forward for elimination of the virus.
The meeting pondered over third party monitoring by World Health Organisation (WHO). Meanwhile, chairing another meeting on dengue, he ordered to make the anti-dengue drive effective.
