The health minister also spoke of the government’s efforts to bring the floating population of the country into the vaccination programme. We will give the vaccine to anyone over the age of 12, wherever they are.”Third vaccine doses, also known as booster doses, will also be given to people over the age of 40 from Sunday, he said. Bangladesh launched its COVID vaccination programme in February 2021. “The age limit was later lowered to 50, but not too many people were able to make use of the booster programme. This will be the one given out to the floating population, the health minister said.
