LAHORE:
Coronavirus vaccine has been delivered to all 36 districts of Punjab amid strict security arrangements.
The provincial primary and secondary healthcare departments sought cooperation from all relevant agencies for the transportation, storage and management of the vaccine.
According to the health secretary, the high demand for the vaccine and the importance of the exercise for the country prompted the authorities to also make security arrangements to avert any theft or replacement of the consignments, terrorist attack or accident during the transportation. The vaccine was delivered in vehicles having the cold-storage facility under police surveillance.
