Pakistan: Frontline health workers in Islamabad show reluctance for COVID-19 jabs

Nadra blamed for delay in vaccination of capital s heathcare workers - Pakistan

A health worker receives a dose of the Chinese-made Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine, at the National Command and Operation Centre in Islamabad. AFP/File ISLAMABAD: Despite efforts by the health department to expedite the process of vaccination and supply ample quantity of doses to the federal capital, only around 700 healthcare workers got themselves vaccinated against Covid-19 during the last two weeks. Those who got the shots blamed National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) and lack of awareness for the delay. Though 14 adult vaccination centres (AVCs) have been established in the capital, only six are functional. In order to maintain a database and ensure the vaccine is administered only to healthcare workers, the government has made Nadra verification of those coming for vaccination mandatory. Besides hospitals, the centres have also been set up in different parts of the capital.
