PRCS expands door-to-door Covid-19 vaccination drive

Islamabad : The Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has expanded its recently launched campaign for door-to-door and mobile vaccination against Covid-19 virus.

The door-to-door vaccination drive is in full swing in the territorial limits of Islamabad Capital Territory in collaboration with the Islamabad Capital Territory Administration (ICTA). PRCS volunteers as well as ambulances are engaged for vaccination of people at their doorsteps. The initiative has been launched to facilitate such people who have got themselves registered but cannot go to designated vaccination facilities for various reasons.

PRCS has also signed an MoU with the Department of Health, AJK, for ‘Corona-Free Kashmir Initiative’ under which eligible persons will be vaccinated through mobile vaccination units in different districts of the region.

In another development, PRCS in collaboration with the Health Department of Government of Sindh and National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), has opened two mobile Covid-19 vaccination units in Karachi at Dolmen Mall and Lucky One Mall. Besides this, PRCS is also establishing static vaccination centres at Hilal-e-Ahmer House in Clifton and Red Crescent Medical Centre Gurumandir. Preparations are also underway to establish vaccination centers at Pakistan Red Crescent hospitals in different districts of Sindh, Baluchistan and tribal areas.

In a statement issued on the occasion, the Chairman of PRCS Abrar ul Haq said the fight against Covid-19 pandemic has entered a decisive phase as fresh cases are on continuous decline due to stringent enforcement of safety guidelines by the government, coupled by people’s cooperation and a robust vaccination drive.
