Islamabad (HRNW) People across the country of or above the age of 17 years can get immunised against the novel coronavirus from September 1, NCOC chief Asad Umar announced Tuesday.
“It is mandatory for students to get the first dose of the vaccine by September 15,” he said in a media briefing. By October 15, students should be fully vaccinated.
Unvaccinated students won’t be allowed inside campuses.
The government has made it mandatory for staff at schools and people working in the transportation of students to get fully vaccinated by September 30.
SAPM on Health Dr Faisal Sultan revealed that immunisation for students above 15 years will soon be opened too.
Umar said the government has imposed these restrictions to ensure the safety and health of all Pakistanis. “Just because of a few people we can’t risk the lives of everyone.”
People who have been vaccinated in a foreign country, on the other hand, can get a Covid-19 vaccination certificate from NADRA from August 26.
