The drive will be held in addition to the country’s regular vaccination schedule, the health minister said at a virtual press conference on Sunday. “We did a similar vaccine drive before and we will do another on Sept 28. Men and women over the age of 40, those with physical disabilities and those who live in remote areas will be prioritised. A total of 32,106 health workers have been assigned to the vaccination drive, alongside more than 48,000 volunteers providing support. According to the Directorate General of Health Services, over 24.19 million people received the first dose of the COVID vaccine as of Saturday.
