Islamabad: Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad’s premiere health facility, has directed its employees who were registered but are not vaccinated yet to get vaccinated or face disciplinary action.
In a circular dated Feb 27, the PIMS Joint Executive Director (JED) Dr Minhajus Siraj has directed the PIMS’ “registered” employees not to “wait & see,” rather they should go for vaccination.
The office order has come in the backdrop of the fact that health workers in the federal capital are still reluctant to receive jabs despite the fact almost a month has passed since the arrival of vaccines.
Out of 8,000 doses not half have been utilized so far, admitted an official of the District Health department of Islamabad.
The Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad has warned of action against the staff refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 despite registration. The hospital management has issued a circular for its healthcare workers to get vaccinated. Over 1,500 PIMS employees have so far been vaccinated. The number of its healthcare staffers registered for vaccination is 3,000. The management has directed the remaining employees to get inoculated at the earliest. So far, over 5,500 healthcare workers have been vaccinated in Islamabad, according to the health authorities. More than 14,000 frontline health workers have been registered in the vaccination programme.
