    A person vaccinated ten times can still be a carrier of Covid, that's the technical fact on that. These are rules

    You are right. Corona is revealing stupity. vaccinated or not anyone may carry the vaccine and certainly no logic. Checking temperature makes some sense

    There are people who don't want to take Sinopharm vaccine, give an alternative even at a cost to those who prefer some other vaccine.

    before vaccination card give the people a ration card. People will starve if the cost of living goes up like this.... This Government stinks

    First a ration card for food and then a durable vaccination card which will not melt in a few days

    It will be difficult to implement it. Can you vaccination cards in religious places, markets etc. So, best is push for strict adherence to health guidelines.

    European Monday, 08 November 2021 05:15 PM

    A digid code works very well here. Please get yourself vaccinated. It is the only solution for this pandemy.

    GERIATRIC HEART Monday, 08 November 2021 05:24 PM

    Before the Vaccination Card PLEASE GET DOWN MEDICINES WHICH ARE OUT OF STOCK. Example is NITROCONTIN 2.6mg which is NOT available in Pharmacies in Sri Lanka...

    OUR AG WILL SAY OK TODAY, BUT TOMORROW HE CAN SAY NOT OK
