South Punjab Health Secretary Ajmal Bhatti has said that an application has been submitted to the Cyber Crime Wing of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for action against fake entries of Covid-19 vaccination.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, he informed that the FIA would probe against fake entries of Covid-19 vaccination made under the names of Kulsoom Nawaz, late wife of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, and former finance minister Ishaq Dar in the National Immunisation Management System (Nims).
He said that he has sought a report on this issue from the district health authorities of Multan and Vehari after inquiry.
Strict action would be initiated against all those staff members who found guilty in the crime, he said.
In a letter sent to the FIA, the health department informed the agency about the fake entries. “It is hereby requested to kindly investigate and take necessary action against the fake entries under the names of Kulsoom Nawaz Sharif and Muhammad Ishaq Dar in the National Immunisation Management System,” the letter stated.
According to the letter, a fake entry for the administration of a PakVac vaccine dose was made under the name of Kulsoom Nawaz from Gymnasium Mailsi, which serves as a vaccination centre in Vehari, on October 5.
Another fake entry, for the first dose of the Cansino vaccine, was made under Dar’s name the same day from the vaccination centre at the office of the Defence Housing Authority’s chief executive officer in Multan.
