No decision yet on vaccinating the under-18: DGHS

Shawdesh desk:

The government is yet to take any decision on bringing people below 18 years under Covid-19 vaccination, said the Directorate General of Health Services on Sunday.

“So far we know, no decision has been taken yet. But the government is thinking about it. Measures will be taken as per the decision of the National Advisory Committee,” said Dr Shamsul Haq, director of DGHS Vaccination Programme.

He said some university students were vaccinated as per the list of the University Grants Commission.

Those who don’t have NID cards and are yet to get vaccinated may get their jabs showing birth certificates, he added.
