Punjab Govt establishes special COVID-19 vaccination camp at Katas Raj Temple  

LAHORE: Under the instructions of Imran Sikander Baloch, Secretary, Primary and Secondary Healthcare Department (P&SHD), special vaccination camps are being arranged at holy places of minorities all across Punjab.

In an effort to boost vaccination drives, a special vaccination camp had been set up in Katas Raj Temple, Chakwal, which is working to vaccinate pilgrims and visitors on a daily basis.

P&SHD had been working to establish vaccination facilities at different churches, temples and Gurdawara's. This establishes a clear stance that the Government of Punjab and the health department believe in vaccine equacy and health for all. The representatives of different religious communities have highly appreciated this initiative.

Imran Sikander Baloch said, "According to the vision of Usman Buzdar and Dr Yasmin Rashid, people are being vaccinated all over the province irrespective of their religion and beliefs. Katas Raj Temple has a 1000 years old history and holds high value in the hearts of Hindus. This activity will move the Hindu community to participate in vaccination drives and get vaccinated. Since the second phase of Reach Every Door has been going on successfully, we have vaccinated more than 52 per cent of the population of Punjab completely."

While urging the people to complete their vaccination and comply with the SOPs, he said, "Only vaccination and following SOPs can assure our success against all these new variants, and we are determined to defeat COVID-19 by vaccinating. As many people as possible."
