300 workers at Padma Bridge vaccinated in Zajira
More than three hundred local workers at the Zajira end of Shariatpur, under the Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project, have been vaccinated. Bangladeshi employees and local workers of Chinese company Sinohydro were jabbed with Sinopharm vaccines.
The vaccines were administered from Wednesday morning till the afternoon at the health center inside Padma Bridge Service Area-2 under the overall supervision of the Bridge Authority, Jazira Upazila Health Complex and the Army's 99 Composite Brigade.
Dr. M. H. Faruquee, a Senior Occupational Safety and Health expert at the Padma Bridge, confirmed the information.
He said more than 300 workers at the Zajira area alone were vaccinated after completion of the registration process. Many do not have NID cards. Some had flawed NIDs. The rest will be vaccinated in phases depending on the situation.
Those who missed vaccination at local health centers were brought under this program. Members of the Bangladesh Army have set up a camp where a team of 12 health workers from Zajira Upazila Health Complex and the health workers at the Padma Bridge came together and carried out this vaccination program.
There are also plans for vaccinating the workers on the Mawa end.
The inauguration of the vaccination program was attended by Dewan Md. Abdul Kader, Executive Engineer of the Bridge Project, and Lieutenant Colonel Sami Ud Doula Chowdhury on behalf of the 99 Composite Brigade.
