The operation of the Verahera Vaccination Center under the Vaccination Program in the Colombo District commenced at 0600 hrs this morning and people have been waiting in long queues since its inception. Our Colombo District Correspondent said that the queue of visitors for vaccinations is more than 3 km long and people are waiting for their turn without proper health advice despite the hot weather. It is reported that due to the long queues, there is a heavy traffic congestion at Werahera and 10th Mile Junction on Road No. 120 Piliyandala.
It was reported that a long queue for similar vaccinations was seen at the Diyatha Uyana in Battaramulla last Monday (02).
