| Booster dose in Dhaka from Tuesday, |
A third or booster dose of the corona virus vaccine is being given to those who have been fighting against Kavid from the front lines and those over 60 years of age in Dhaka from next Tuesday.
Those who have received the second dose of coronavirus vaccine at least six months ago will be given a third or booster dose. Those who are eligible for the third dose will get automatic SMS on their mobile so they do not have to re-register for the third dose.
Senior Secretary of the Department of Health. Lokman Hossain Mia said in a program on Monday, “Everyone in the country must take two doses of vaccine. From tomorrow, fighters over 60 and up front will receive a booster dose. ”
The protection against the covid vaccine is slowly weakening as long as the coronavirus vaccine is given. So some countries are encouraging their citizens to take one more dose of Covid-19 vaccine. Which is called booster dose or third dose.
The National Technical Advisory Committee on Covid-19 has recommended a booster dose for citizens of Bangladesh after a powerful new strain of coronavirus was identified in South Africa last month. So 60 people were given an experimental booster dose last December 19th.
"Everyone needs to get vaccinated and wear a mask to protect themselves from Omicron," said the health secretary. We have also talked about this at the local union and municipality level so that everyone from the rickshaw pullers in those areas can get the vaccine. ”
Additional Director General of the Department of Health, Prof. Ahmedul Kabir said that those who have been vaccinated before will get booster dose from the same center.
"We have all the information on those who have registered and taken the first and second doses of the vaccine. Those who took the second dose of coronavirus at least 6 months ago will receive an SMS today. SMS will be sent from the center from which you have been vaccinated before. Anyone who receives an SMS will receive a vaccine. Text messages will be sent from today. ”
Ahmedul Kabir said that the work of updating the security app is still going on. For that reason, booster dose will be given only in Dhaka for the time being. Will be given out of Dhaka in a few days.
