In an effort to inoculate as many people as possible against the new coronavirus amid vaccine resistance, the Sindh government has chosen to restrict unvaccinated persons’ mobile SIM cards, following Punjab’s lead.
Sindh government Minister for Information Syed Nasir Hussain Shah told the media during the opening of the vaccination center at Karachi’s Rafiqi Shaheed Hospital that individuals who do not get vaccinated would have their mobile phone SIMs disabled shortly.

Even people who have been vaccinated, according to Shah, should continue to take precautions against the coronavirus. In response to a query, he stated that the Pfizer vaccine, which is in high demand in Pakistan, will only be given to individuals who must travel internationally.
The government’s mass immunization effort would be continued under a three-pronged plan, according to the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC).
All citizens are vaccinated voluntarily.
Employees in the public and private sectors are required to receive vaccines. By June 30, 2021, all government personnel must be immunized.
