Muslims who miss vaccination appointments risk ignoring the knowledge of senior clerics and spending Ramadan 2022 away from their families.
That is the view of Muzahid Khan, one of the regional consultants at the Strengthening Faith Institutions programme, who believes that the Holy Month should be a reason to get inoculated.
Mr Khan remains alarmed at figures showing that people of Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage have the second lowest uptake of COVID-19 vaccines, even though local pop-up vaccination centres have been a huge success in places with high concentration of these communities.

A Hollinwood mother has told those caught in conspiracy theories around COVID-19 vaccinations being used to track their whereabouts to, “chuck your smart phones in the bin, then!”
Raheela Kausar, Senior Receptionist at South Chadderton Health Centre, believes that fake news stories mostly peddled on social media are “dangerous scare tactics”.
And she is particularly concerned that older people in Oldham’s Islamic community are being put off potentially life-saving inoculations because they often receive their health information from younger people being bombarded by untruths by anti-vaccine groups.
