Sindh has announced 302 vacancies for Union Council Immunisation Officers in Karachi and Hyderabad, offering a field-based opportunity for graduates in public health and related disciplines. The posts are being filled under the Directorate of Expanded Programme on Immunisation, as part of the EPI and PEI Synergy initiative, which aims to strengthen routine immunisation and supplementary vaccination activities across the province.
Immunisation officers play a frontline role in protecting children from preventable diseases. By working at union council level, they help ensure that vaccination services reach households, that records are kept accurately and that communities understand the importance of completing the immunisation schedule. The scale of this recruitment, covering both Karachi and Hyderabad, underlines the importance placed on improving coverage in urban areas.
Sindh Union Council Immunization Officers Jobs 2026
The 302 posts are spread across Karachi’s districts and Hyderabad, with applications open to both men and women. The roles are full-time and field-based, and successful candidates will support routine immunisation as well as supplementary activities, visiting communities and working with health teams to identify children who need vaccination. The work requires local knowledge, because officers need to understand the geography, population and community structures of the district for which they apply.
Salary Package and Contract
The monthly salary is 70,000 rupees, plus a mobility allowance of 10,000 rupees, giving a combined monthly package of 80,000 rupees. The appointment is for one year on contract, and it may be renewed depending on performance, programme requirements and the availability of funding. The mobility allowance reflects the field-based nature of the work, which involves regular travel within the assigned district rather than office-based duties alone.
Educational Qualifications
Applicants need a relevant degree in public health, healthcare, biological sciences or a related field. Eligible qualifications include a Bachelor of Science in Public Health, Health Promotion, Nutrition and Dietetics, Nursing, Molecular Biology or Molecular Medicine, Biotechnology or Biosciences, Microbiology, Psychology, or Food Science and Technology, as well as a Doctor of Pharmacy or Doctor of Physical Therapy. A Master of Public Health will be given preference, reflecting the programme’s emphasis on population health and preventive care.
Age Limit
The maximum age is 28 years as of 20 November 2026, with a general age relaxation of five years, bringing the upper age limit to 33 years. Applicants must also hold domicile for the district they are applying for, and they should be familiar with the area’s geography, population and community structures. This local requirement is intended to ensure that officers can work effectively with the communities they serve and can navigate local conditions with confidence.
How to Apply for UCIO Jobs
Applications must be submitted online through the SZABIST recruitment portal at szabist.edu.pk/ucio2026/index.aspx, by 11:59 pm Pakistan Standard Time on 20 November 2026. Applicants should create an account, complete the online form, select their district and upload their educational and personal documents. They must also pay the prescribed processing fee and upload proof of payment before completing their submission.
Applicants should check their documents and fee proof carefully before submitting, because incomplete applications may not be considered. For graduates in health and biological sciences, the posts offer a direct route into public health work, with experience in immunisation, community engagement and field data collection. That experience can be valuable for future roles in government health programmes, non-governmental organisations and preventive health services, while also contributing to a programme whose success is measured in healthier children across Sindh.
The importance of this recruitment becomes clearer when considering how immunisation coverage is achieved in practice. Vaccines only protect children if they are delivered on time, recorded correctly and followed up when a dose is missed. Union council officers are therefore not simply administrators; they are the link between health facilities and families, and their work can determine whether a child in a busy urban neighbourhood receives the full schedule or falls through the gaps.
Trust is also central to the role. Families are more likely to accept vaccination when information is given by someone who understands local languages, customs and concerns, and who can answer questions patiently. Officers who are recruited from the district they serve, and who know its communities well, are better placed to build that trust. In that sense, the local domicile requirement and the emphasis on community knowledge are not bureaucratic details, but practical measures that can affect health outcomes.
Eligible graduates should therefore check the portal early, prepare their documents and fee proof, and submit before the deadline, so that this recruitment can translate into stronger immunisation coverage for children in Karachi and Hyderabad. Early preparation will help applicants avoid last-minute problems.
