ISLAMABAD: The National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC) has decided to establish separate COVID vaccination centres for the teachers and educational staff, ARY News reported, citing sources. 

The decision has been made to expedite the vaccination process for the teachers and the non-teaching staff amid the third wave of the pandemic.
