Immunisation began at the Parliament site from 10 a.m. and will continue until the Budget Session is concluded. The drive will take place every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on Saturday and Sunday.
All Members of Parliament had been briefed of the campaign and required to consult the Covid-19 Facility near the reception office of the Annex of Parliament for immunisation.
In order to ensure the health of all Members of Parliament, the Parliament has made it a priority, following other departments inside the Center, to inoculate their staff in accordance with the criteria agreed by the Government in the ongoing phase of vaccination.
