Individuals waiting to receive the booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine will have to wait six weeks after recovery to get the third shot if they test positive for the disease. “If someone is eligible for the booster dose and receives a message with the date it will be administered, but contracts the coronavirus before they receive it, they will have to wait six weeks for the booster,” he said. On Dec 28, the Directorate General of Health Services launched its booster dose programme. According to the DGHS, some 97 million people in Bangladesh have received the first dose of the COVID vaccine as of Saturday. The booster dose has also been administered to 1.46 million people.
