Pak student’s honour

LAHORE:Fajr Khan, a head girl at a school in DHA, has been appointed as vaccine ambassador for the Dutch Public Health Department (GGD), Netherlands. Fajr Khan moved to Pakistan last year after living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, since the age of 2 years. This summer she returned to Amsterdam where she read about the lack of vaccines among youths and immigrant groups in the Netherlands. She sent a letter to the mayor concerning this which led to her partnership with the Dutch Public Health Department’s Covid-19 prevention team. She organised and hosted a conference with a Dutch doctor and public health specialist for teenagers regarding vaccine misinformation, and was also the face of their Covid-19 billboard campaign.
