People Can Get Booster Doses Even Changing Prior Center

Booster doses have been introduced in the country to prevent the new variant of coronavirus infection, Omicron. Initially, the Directorate of Health decided that the booster dose center could not be changed. From now on the center can be changed for booster doses.

A statement signed by Dr Shamsul Haque, director of the Health Directorate and member secretary of the Covid-19 vaccine management task force committee, said on Tuesday (January 4th) that the facility would only apply to district changes. The Directorate will not allow any person to change the center in the district.

The Directorate says that for a variety of reasons, many vaccine recipients are unable to receive the Booster Dose vaccine from the 1st and 2nd doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. In this case, the booster dosage vaccine can be conveniently given from any vaccination center by changing the district while staying in different districts. However, the instruction is not applicable in case of a change of center within the same district.

You must provide a booster dose subject to the vaccination card display and scan the QR code to update the data protection web portal. Information on vaccine vaccines that have not been updated in the security web portal is requested to be updated immediately.

Last Monday (January 3), the Director General of the Department of Health, Prof. Dr. ABM Khurshid Alam told reporters that we were not in favor of changing the vaccination center. When it comes to changing the center, there is some dishonesty. Those who have the password are at risk if they misuse it. That's why I didn't encourage changing the vaccination center. But later, when it became clear that it was not always possible for everyone to be vaccinated at the same center, we sought permission from the ICT Ministry to change the center.
