Like many other countries around the world, Pakistan has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic for more than a year now. Hundreds of thousands of cases have been reported so far. The government authorities have been doing their best to control the spread of the deadly virus by imposing lockdown measures as well as running public awareness campaigns regarding coronavirus SOPs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the arrival of the coronavirus vaccine in Pakistan<\/a> at the beginning of 2021, the National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC), which acts as the government\u2019s nerve centre for the ongoing pandemic, has launched vaccination campaigns in different phases. NCOC is now also setting up vaccination centres in Pakistan. These facilities will have the capacity to vaccinate hundreds of people on a daily basis to speed up the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vaccination drive will be carried out on a large-scale, covering all major cities in the country. According to the Ministry of National Health Services (NHS), more than 100 million people need to be vaccinated in Pakistan. The first phase of the vaccination campaigns focuses on Healthcare Workers (HCWs) and senior citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you don\u2019t know how to get the coronavirus vaccine in Pakistan<\/a>, you have made it to the right post. In this blog, we are going to give you all the latest updates on the Adult Vaccination Centres (AVCs) in Pakistan and shed light on the NCOC guidelines for citizens who are planning to visit these vaccination facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, without further delay, let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see in the illustration above, there are certain guidelines that citizens have to follow before visiting the Adult Vaccination Centre (AVC). We\u2019ll now go through them step by step in detail for your assistance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Check Your Eligibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the very first stage of the process, you need to check your eligibility for the vaccination process. You need to text your CNIC to 1166 for this purpose. The National Immunization Management System (NIMS) will tell whether you are eligible for the vaccination campaign or not, based on your CNIC number. As discussed, in the first phase only senior citizens and Healthcare Workers (HCWs) will be vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Fact:<\/strong> The National Immunization Management System (NIMS) has been formulated by NCOC to effectively manage the supply of the coronavirus vaccine in Pakistan. The system records the data of each and every vaccinated individual, aiding the authorities to swiftly carry out phase-wise vaccination drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Confirmation SMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, you\u2019ll get a confirmation message. It will inform you about the Adult Vaccination Centre (AVC) that you are supposed to visit and will provide you with a unique PIN code for verification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Appointment SMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once the vaccine is available at your desired AVC, you will receive an SMS confirming your date of appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Visiting the Adult Vaccination Centre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, you need to visit the AVC on the allotted date and time. You must take your CNIC and the provided pin code along with you for verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Verification Counter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The very first thing you need to do after visiting the vaccination centre is to head over to the verification counter. Show your CNIC and tell your PIN code, so the staff at the verification counter could check and verify your appointment schedule with NIMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Vaccination Counter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After getting done with the verification process, you will be called to the vaccination counter upon your turn. Here you will be provided with the coronavirus vaccine dosage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Your Vaccination Entry in NIMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To keep records in NIMS updated, the staff at the AVC will put you on the list of vaccinated people, once you have been given the vaccination dosage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Monitoring Process at the Facility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will be required to stay for at least 30 minutes after getting the vaccination. The doctors will closely monitor you to check for any after-effects of the vaccine jab on your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
