PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department has decided to vaccinate all the frontline health workers in the first phase and made a comprehensive plan for COVID-19 vaccination.
The department has established the Provincial Vaccine Administration and Coordination Cell (PVACC) under the chairmanship of secretary health to better coordinate with relevant authorities in the vaccination process.
The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Secretary Health Syed Imtiaz Hussain on Thursday.
The District Vaccine Administration & Coordination Cells (DVACC) have been established in all the 35 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including the merged districts under the chairmanship of relevant additional deputy commissioners (ADCs) having membership of the Health Department and other relevant departments.
OWING to the continual shortage of gas and electricity, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department is set to resort to solar energy to make sure that vaccines are maintained at a uniform temperature regardless of power shortages. This, indeed, is a laudable decision.
There is no reason for us to stop just there. Shortage of those basic requirements has become a routine across the country, and broadening the scope and installation of solar energy will offer people the much-needed relief. In fact, solar power appears to be the most appropriate answer to most of our woes.
With the country being severely tormented by climate change, the sun shines brightly throughout the year. This suggests that solar technology may indeed have the potential to provide plenty of energy round the year which might perhaps be enough to power the cities.
