Umar earlier explained that the authorities have started registrations for more age groups as vaccine supply in the south Asian country continues to improve and the country’s vaccination capacity gets enhanced day by day.
A digital portal has been launched by the federal government for the registration through which a code was assigned to the person and then they can go to a designated vaccination centre and get a jab.
