ISLAMABAD, Aug 5 — Tens of thousands of Pakistanis are thronging coronavirus vaccination centres daily after officials announced penalties for the unvaccinated, including blocked cell phones and barred access to offices, restaurants, shopping malls and transport.
“I’m personally not scared of corona,” said banker Abdul Rauf as he stood in a queue at a vaccination centre in southern Karachi, with his mask down to chin. Out of a population of 220 million, only 6.7 million people have been fully vaccinated, according to the National Command and Operations Centre , a military run body that oversees the Covid-19 operations.
“I came here and obtained this card after getting the vaccination, merely because I have to travel abroad, and I will not be able to travel without doing this,” said Mohammad Atiq Qureshi, a lawyer in Karachi.
