KARACHI: The Sindh government is set to take a major leap in the ongoing nationwide Covid-19 vaccination drive by opening a massive facility at the Expo Centre on Sunday (today), said to be the largest in the country, where an estimated 25,000 people could be inoculated in a day with round-the-clock service to be offered to visitors registered by the federal government for the jabs.
Officials and sources said on Saturday that the month-long effort of the Sindh health department finally started yielding results and after a number of vaccination centres established in Karachi and other parts of Sindh, a huge facility was set to start its operation, which could expedite the process manifold.
Karachi: The Sindh government has completed the construction of Pakistan’s biggest mass COVID-19 vaccination facility in Karachi. It took just a week to complete.
The facility constructed at the Karachi’s Expo Centre will also be unique in the sense that it will vaccinate people round-the-clock.
The facility is likely to be inaugurated on Sunday (May 9). It will vaccinate up to 30,000 people in a day. Special arrangements are being made to vaccinate the woman visitors to the centre.
The mass vaccination facility has been established on the directives of Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. Sindh government’s Works and Services Department started work to establish the facility on 48,000 square feet area of the Expo Centre on May 2.
