Shield lends a helping hand to government’s vaccination drive to help curb the Covid-19 outbreak

Shield, a leading Hand Sanitizer brand of Hemas Consumer Brands has once again stepped forward to support the nation’s course in curbing the Covid-19 outbreak.

The Shield team also spearheaded an activity to create awareness among 50,000 citizens on the necessary precautions to be taken post-vaccination. A leaflet containing precautionary measures, compiled in collaboration with the office of the Provincial Director of Health Services was distributed to each person who arrived to be vaccinated.

Commenting on this effort of Shield, Naveed Anjoon, Marketing Manager at Hemas Consumer Brands said, “We are indeed happy to lend a helping hand to the government’s vaccination drive and its efforts to curb the Covid-19 outbreak. We noticed that most people are unaware of the precautionary measures to be taken post-vaccination.
