Bangladesh is no stranger to vaccination and is largely considered to be vaccine-friendly. But currently, the country is going through the complexities and uncertainties attributed to adult immunisation through the Covid vaccination programme.

Because this time the required coverage of vaccination is very high (around 80%) to reach herd immunity, and there are several constraints surrounding vaccine supply as well.
