After visiting Keraniganj Aam Bagicha Government Primary School and Agangar Union Vaccination Centre, Dhaka District Civil Surgeon Dr Abu Hossain Md Mainul Ahsan told reporters, "Our centre will vaccinate 600 people. The second dose will also be given through campaign."

The immunisation programme will be carried out concurrently in 4,600 unions, 1,054 municipalities and 433 wards in city corporations across the country by 32,706 vaccinators and 48,459 volunteers

The vaccination programme will be held on 7-9 August in the city corporation areas and on 8-9 August in the rest of the wards of the unions and municipalities. Vaccination activities will continue on 8 and 9 August in remote and hard-to-reach areas.

Apart from giving individuals in rural areas access to the vaccine, the government has also brought down the age limit for vaccination to 25 years.

In the Rohingya camps located in Cox's Bazar, vaccines will be administered on 10-12 August under the campaign. Rohingyas aged 55 years or older will be vaccinated during the campaign.

Health Minister Zahid Maleque had earlier said around 1 crore people would be inoculated during the week-long campaign, but the target has been trimmed at the last minute.
