Vaccination Program to Resume from 19 June

The government will resume the Covid-19 immunization campaign from the 19th of June. Those who have previously registered will be vaccinated with Sinopharm and Pfizer vaccine doses for the time being.

On Monday evening, Health Minister Zahid Maleque made the announcement at an event in the capital.

"We are going to resume vaccination. But we have only 11 lakh vaccine doses against the demand of 14 crore doses. That is why everyone must follow the hygiene rules," he said.

Coronavirus infections are also on the rise, according to the health minister, due to people's unwillingness to wearing masks.

He stated that the health ministry is giving services to the people in every way possible, but that there are certain limits.

The Minister said, "the hospital beds are limited. If one lakh out of 17 crore people are infected every day, there will be no place to treat them," adding that there is no alternative to controlling coronavirus.
