Pakistan has launched a COVID-19 vaccination campaign for children aged five to 11 in order to inoculate a maximum number of individuals to control the spread of the disease.
The country’s Health Ministry said on Monday.
According to a statement released by the ministry, under the first phase of the campaign, children would be vaccinated in the selected districts of the country’s southern Sindh and eastern Punjab provinces along with the federal capital Islamabad.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony, the Health Minister, Abdul Qadir Patel said that vaccinators would go door to door in communities to vaccinate a maximum number of children in the country.
However, Patel said that children will be vaccinated after approval from their parents.
