In a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect students from the deadly virus, the private schools association in Karachi decided Monday to vaccinate students aged 17 and above.
The decision was taken during a meeting of the heads of private schools associations in Karachi today. The meeting decided that all the students aged 17 and above will be inoculated against COVID-19.
However, a consent certificate will be obtained from their parents ahead of the vaccination. Only those students will be vaccinated against the virus who submit their parents’ consent certificate to the management of the concerned school, said the schools’ association.
Teams comprising doctors and paramedical staff will visit schools to vaccinate students, said a representative of the association, adding that the students will be inoculated against COVID-19 after initial medical examination.
