The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) vaccination centre will remain closed for the public today and will resume normal operations from tomorrow (Thursday) with appointments only.

In a public statement, the hospital said that walk-ins will not be entertained. "In the past two days, we have received an overwhelming number of people who have chosen our centre to get vaccinated. While we are honoured to be the first choice for so many, we have limited capacity to vaccinate.

"To better serve everybody, we are now offering vaccinations through an appointment system at AKUH. If you have received a vaccination confirmation from the government, please call (021) 111-911-911 to make your vaccination appointment," the hospital said.

The statement added that appointment can be made starting Wednesday (today).
