The inauguration of the vaccination drive started in the capital's Mirpur Jamia Siddiquia Noorani Women's Madrasa on Sunday morning.
“Madrasa students will get Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine. We will be given a list from the Madrasa Board of Education and will work according to the list,” DGHS Line Director (MNC & AH) Dr Md Shamsul Haque said.
The board has also fixed the centre, he added.
