The second dose of mass immunization program for students aged 12 to 18 is starting from tomorrow, Sunday. The second phase of the vaccination program will be started simultaneously in 6 centers of the city. A target has been set to vaccinate 21,794 students on the first day of the second dose vaccination program. The vaccination program will start from 9 am on this day.
Meanwhile, the health department has already prepared more than 150 vaccination workers from the upazila level to implement mass immunization activities for students. The district education office has requested the students to come at the time fixed by the school and follow the hygiene rules.According to the Department of Health and Education, the first dose vaccination program started last month has been implemented in various community centers of the city but this time it is not being completed. Eight centers have already been set up in government institutions to implement the second dose of immunization on a permanent basis.
However, considering the students and ensuring hygiene, the daily target has been reduced a bit compared to the first dose. Besides, the number of centers has also been increased as compared to last time. However, the concerned authorities informed the students and school authorities to be present at the center at the scheduled time.
