Health authorities have already made a decision about expanding the drive to schools and it will be implemented “very soon”, Health Minister Zahid Maleque said on Thursday. Mobile teams will be deployed to administer the shots to students in schools while the vaccination centres will also be operating as usual, reports bdnews24.com. But the authorities have been struggling to draw children to the vaccination centres, each set up with the aim of inoculating students from at least five schools in the vicinity. Our teams will go to the schools and vaccinate (the children) there.”Students will be administered the US-made Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to the minister. We will take any steps to vaccinate children inside schools."
