Mass Vaccination Centres in Karachi to Ease the Covid Vaccine Drive!

Karachi: 11 mass vaccination centres announced, to facilitate the residents of Karachi 24/7.

“We have to secure our citizens by taking some drastic measures,” said the Chief Minister of Sindh, Murad Ali Shah after making the Covid-19 vaccine mandatory for every citizen. 

Previously, the Government of Sindh had hoped to increase the numbers of individuals getting inoculated by declaring the Covid-19 vaccine mandatory for the issuance of driver’s licence, however the decision did not have the impact the govt. had hoped for.

Due to which, CM Murad Ali Shah decided to take even more drastic measures, such as blocking SIM cards of unvaccinated people, which increased the ratio of individuals getting the vaccine jab. The government then decided to hold the salaries of unvaccinated individuals, due to which the number of individuals at the vaccination centres increased drastically. 

If you have not gotten vaccinated yet, read our detailed blog on the Covid-19 Vaccination. 

As the number of people at a certain vaccination centre increased, it got difficult to manage the system, and things quickly got out of hand. Lack of an efficient management led to violence and property damage at two mega vaccination facilities, at Expo Centre and Khaliqdina Hall. 

This chaos and increased influx of individuals at vaccination centres, led the government of Sindh to announce establishment of 11 mass vaccination, that will operate 24/7 , according to a tweet by Mr. Murtaza Wahab Siddiqui, adviser to the Chief Minister of Sindh on Law, Anti-Corruption and Establishment.
