LAHORE: People in the capital crowded the Poly Clinic Hospital on Wednesday as the country began the second phase of a nationwide coronavirus vaccination drive to inoculate all above 60. Many people were seen not observing the government-issued guidelines to prevent further spread of Covid-19, including by not wearing masks and not maintaining a physical distance. Once registered, eligible citizens are informed about the vaccine centre and the date of vaccination through a text message.
