Wuhan university vaccinates foreign students
Pakistani student Muhammad Sultan Irshad got his first shot of COVID-19 vaccine at the campus hospital in Hubei University in Wuhan, Hubei province on Tuesday. He was one of 13 foreign students in the university who voluntarily applied to get vaccinated that day.
"Today, foreign students and teachers were vaccinated free of charge, based on the needs of prevention and control of COVID-19," he said. "The staff members were so kind and served us very gracefully. Around 100 Chinese people were also there for vaccination. I can see the sense of satisfaction on their faces."
By Tuesday, 13 out of 30 international students at the university had been inoculated with a domestically made vaccine, and one student is waiting for it today, according to the university.
Wuhan University released the notice for foreign students to make an appointment for inoculation on Tuesday afternoon, with a QR code to scan and a form to fill out online.
