Colombo, March 23 (Daily Mirror) – The Colombo Municipal Council yesterday said it had allocated six centers in Colombo this week where those above the age of 60 years can receive the anti COVID19 Astra Zeneca jabs.
Chief Medical Officer of the CMC, Dr. Ruwan Wijemuni told Daily Mirror that the vaccination programme will exclusively be administered to those above 60 years of age and urged other age groups to refrain from visiting the vaccination centers.
