The health authorities in Bangladesh have decided to offer the Covid-19 vaccine to everyone over 12 and booster shots to all above 40 years of age. A record 32.4 million vaccine doses were administered this month, bringing the total to 157 million since the start of the inoculation drive, he said. On December 28 last year, Bangladesh started administering booster doses of the Covid-19 vaccine but on a limited scale. Initially only citizens above 60 received the booster shots of the Pfizer vaccine. A person becomes eligible to receive a Covid-19 booster jab six month after taking the second dose of the vaccine.
