With a target to inoculate 3.32 crore people with the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine, the government launched a special vaccination campaign yesterday.
"The campaign will continue throughout January at certain ward-level centres," Shamsul Haque, a line director at the health directorate, told The Daily Star yesterday.
The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has been conducting the regular Covid-19 vaccination campaign at 1,005 centres across the country.
