The Ministry of National Health Services (NHS) has denied rumours that the government would “forcibly” administer the vaccine and plans were under consideration to discourage refusals.

Rumours have been circulating that the government is considering strict action against the people who have not been vaccinated. Their SIMs will be blocked and they will not be allowed to enter restaurants and government offices.

However, spokesperson for Ministry of NHS Sajid Shah told Dawn that there were no such proposals under consideration.

“We want to encourage vaccination and ensure that there is no risk at places of public gatherings and get together. There will be no forced vaccination by any means but we will have few restrictions to protect public health at large,” he said.
