Health Minister
Zahid Maleque has said that 70 million people in the country will be vaccinated
against coronavirus by next December.
He said, “We
have planned to administrate more vaccines in villages as the rate of corona
infection has increased in rural areas. Because the villagers have received
fewer vaccines. We will vaccinate them first.”

district BCL at Shaheed Miraj Tapan Stadium in Manikganj on Saturday (August 28)
at 3.30 pm.
The minister
called on all to be patient and said, "The elderly persons have to be
vaccinated first." They need to be protected. Then we will all get
vaccinated in phases. We have already been able to vaccinate 2.5 crore.
Zahid Maleque
said, "I have talked to the Prime Minister. He said that 170 million
people of the country will be brought under the corona vaccine in phases as
much as possible.
"No matter
how vaccinated we are, we have to wear masks and maintain social
distance," he said.
Starting with a
lab for corona testing, 750 labs have now been set up in the country. Besides,
central oxygen has been provided to 110 hospitals in the country.
The minister

assistance to the people and various sectors affected in Corona."
