The government is planning to vaccinate 32 lakh people in the revamped day-long Covid-19 vaccination drive across the country on 7 August.
In a meeting of the National Covid-19 Vaccine Management Taskforce Committee on Wednesday, its member secretary Dr Md Shamsul Haque said 81,165 healthcare workers and volunteers will help administer the doses.
Earlier, the 6-day mass vaccination campaign from 7-12 August was changed to one day on 7 August due to vaccine shortages and a manpower crisis.
