KARACHI: In a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect the students from the virus, the Sindh government Tuesday made vaccination mandatory for students of grade XI and above.
According to a notification issued by the director of college education Karachi region, “No students will be allowed admission, take classes, appear in the practical exam, or other examinations prior to vaccination.”
All the college principals have been directed to establish vaccination desks at the colleges to facilitate the students and representatives of the health department, read the notification.
