The vaccination program will continue till February 26. Speaking as the chief guest, the mayor said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina launched the vaccination program in Bangladesh before any other country in the world at a time when people's lives were being disrupted due to coronavirus infection. At present most of the people in the country are covered by the vaccine. So my request to everyone is that you take the vaccine yourself as well as bring the people around you to vaccinate. Everyone can get this vaccine from 12 years.
