Federal government announces new hiring in Karachi vaccination centres
New staff to be hired in Karachi
The government has made vaccination and a valid certificate mandatory for people travelling abroad, including those going for Hajj and Umrah.
However, a shortage of staff at Karachi vaccination centres has reportedly caused difficulties for people preparing to travel overseas.
To address the issue, the government has announced federal government jobs at the city’s vaccination facilities.
The decision has also created new vaccination jobs Karachi applicants can apply for through the recruitment process.
Sources in the Ministry of Health said recruitment will take place this month, while Border Health Services will manage the hiring process.
100 vaccinators to be recruited
According to sources, 100 vaccinators will be hired for Karachi.
The new Karachi vaccinators will be recruited by Border Health Services for vaccination centres across the city.
The department will hire the staff on a daily-wage basis, while their salaries will be paid by the federal government.
The recruitment is part of the planned federal government jobs to deal with the shortage of staff at the centres.
The move is expected to increase the number of available vaccination jobs Karachi candidates can apply for.
Walk-in interviews on September 28
Walk-in interviews for the new positions will be held on September 28.
The 100 vaccinators will be selected through the interview process and will work at different vaccination facilities in the city.
The newly recruited Karachi vaccinators are expected to help manage the growing number of travellers seeking vaccination certificates.
The Karachi vaccination centres will also remain open 24 hours a day, according to the reported plan.

Why the hiring was needed
Vaccination certificates are required for people travelling abroad, including passengers travelling for Hajj and Umrah.
With limited staff available, Karachi vaccination centres have reportedly faced pressure from the number of people seeking vaccination services.
The government believes additional staff will help reduce delays and make the process easier for travellers.
Through Border Health Services, the government plans to strengthen staffing at the centres and improve their ability to handle visitors.
The new federal government jobs are therefore aimed at addressing an immediate staffing requirement rather than creating permanent positions.
What applicants should know
The recruitment will include vaccination jobs Karachi candidates can pursue through the announced walk-in interviews.
Sources said the 100 vaccinators will be hired on a daily-wage basis.
The selected Karachi vaccinators will receive their salaries from the federal government.
Further details about the recruitment process are expected to be available through the relevant Border Health Services authorities.
