Acclaimed Pakistani singer and humanitarian Shehzad Roy recently took to social media and asked his fans and followers to get Covid-19 vaccination before Pakistan becomes last country in the world with the virus.
The 44-year-old musician, who, alongside actress Mahira Khan, has joined hands with the US Consulate in Karachi to run Covid vaccines awareness campaign, has shared an anecdote of a man he met, who got vaccination after losing a loved one to Covid.
Taking to Instagram, the Zindagi Trust founder wrote, “I met a person outside the #JPMC Hall as @mahirahkhan and I were invited by the @usconsulate_khi @usembislamabad to promote #vaccinations.”
He continued, “The person told me that he was strictly against it, but when a close family member died who was not vaccinated and his friend only got a mild disease after being vaccinated, he decided to get himself vaccinated ASAP.”
Roy concluded, “Don't wait for a disaster. We don't want Pakistan to be the last country on the map with #COVID like #Polio.”
