LAHORE:
The medical and paramedical staff of government hospitals in Punjab appear reluctant to get vaccinated against coronavirus till the situation regarding the side effects becomes clear.
Out of about 20,000 doctors, 70,000 nurses and 150,000 paramedics working in 253 government hospitals across the province, only 1,500 have received the first dose of the vaccine. According to sources, about 10 per cent of them complained of dizziness for two days after receiving the vaccine, while 2% reported having a mild fever.
However, in general, the heads of medical institutions have failed to persuade the staff to come forward for the vaccination against coronavirus. Also, no one has accurate data on the number of staff members vaccinated on a daily basis.

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Thursday reserved its decision regarding formation of a bench for hearing review petitions in Justice Qazi Faez Isa case.
A six-member larger bench headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial and consisting of Justice Manzoor Ahmad Malik, Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel, Justice Sajjad Ali Shah and Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmad, heard the review petitions filed by Justice Qazi Faez Isa, his wife Sarina Isa and different bar associations of the country.
