KARACHI, Aug 11: Large crowds were witnessed at the camps setup by the Al-Khidmat group in all 18 towns of the city to provide low-cost vaccinations of Hepatitis B to citizens.

According to an Al-Khidmat spokesman, some 60,000 men, women and children were immunized in some 38 camps in different parts of the city throughout the day on Sunday.
