KARACHI: Sindh government on Sunday decided to begin Covid-19 vaccination for grade 9 to 12 students across provincial schools and colleges from Monday (today) linking it with a permission certificate from parents.
During a meeting chaired by provincial education minister Sardar Shah Sunday, it was agreed to go ahead with the suggestion of the health department to launch a vaccination drive for grade 9 to 12 students from Monday.
"The global cities are returning to normalcy after vaccination drives," the minister said as the meeting decided to seek permission certificates from parents for the Covid-19 vaccination process. The associations representing parents and schools will be taken into confidence before the immunisation process, it was agreed during the session.
