Bangladesh is set to roll out a week-long round of nationwide Covid-19 vaccine booster campaign on June 4-10.

People who are 18 years old and above, and have received their second vaccine shot four months ago, will be eligible for receiving the booster dose during this campaign, the Directorate General of Health Services said in a notice on Tuesday.

During this campaign, eligible people can receive it any day at their nearest vaccination centre. Vaccination will commence from 9:00am every day, the notice added.
