Dr. Asela Gunawardena, Director General of Health Services, has requested the public to pay for any available Covid vaccine without waiting for the vaccine of their choice.
He said this while commenting to the media this morning.
He advised those over 60 to go to the nearest vaccination center and get vaccinated as soon as possible.
The Director General of Health Services added that currently 70 to 80 per cent of those who die of Covid infection do not receive any Covid vaccine.
Only those infected within the last two weeks are currently being identified.
If it is blocked now, the results will be known in the next two weeks.
This activity is very important. Stopping this now can greatly control the spread of infection.
Therefore, people should follow the rules of segregation properly, said Dr. Asela Gunawardena, Director General of Health Services.
