The government earlier this month stepped up the ongoing anti-coronavirus vaccine campaign by taking it door-to-door amid surge in the coronavirus cases fuelled by the highly contagious Omicron variant.
The NCOC announced a two-week door-to-door vaccination campaign titled ‘Every Pakistani Safe from Coronavirus’ to get rid of the Covid-19. The February 1-14 vaccine campaign would cover all the people above the age of 12 years.
Addressing a news conference in the federal capital, Umar, who also heads the NCOC, had said that more than 55,000 vaccination teams would go door-to-door to vaccinate the unvaccinated individuals across the country.
