Actor Mahira Khan and singer Shehzad Roy have joined hands with the US Consulate in Karachi to promote Covid-19 vaccinations in Pakistan.
As an effort to create awareness, Shehzad Roy took to Instagram to share an incident about a man he met while campaigning to promote vaccines at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).
“I met a person outside the JPMC Hall as Mahira Khan and I were invited by the US Consulate to promote [Covid-19] vaccinations,” he wrote.
“The person told me that he was strictly against it, but when a close family member died who was not vaccinated and his friend only got a mild disease after being vaccinated, he decided to get himself vaccinated as soon as possible.”
The man’s terrible and heartbreaking loss should serve as a lesson. “Don’t wait for a disaster,” the singer urged. “We don’t want Pakistan to be the last country on the map with Covid like polio.”
