After the launch of the national coronavirus vaccination program on February 8 in Bangladesh, many people were not interested in getting vaccinated at first due to various fears. But then the image is very different. Despite complaints about registration problems on the website, the number of registrations has quadrupled since the first two days.
The social networking website Facebook and the University of Maryland jointly conducted a worldwide survey. It found that 84 percent of respondents in Bangladesh were interested in receiving a coronavirus vaccine.
The Institute of Health Economics at the University of Dhaka released a survey report in late January. It was later found that 32 percent of those surveyed were interested in getting vaccinated.
There are no reports of serious side effects.
Sarkar, an ally of Dhaka, was initially skeptical of the coronavirus vaccine. The main reason for their hesitation and apprehension was the news that some people had side effects after being vaccinated in many other countries, including neighboring India. But it has changed like now.
He says: “In fact, from the beginning we got a lot of news from abroad that many people got sick after getting vaccinated. So I thought it would be okay to go get vaccinated. He had no problem. Now I think the vaccine should be taken.
Just as there were fears of the side effects of the coronavirus vaccine, there have been rumors that the vaccine could alter the body’s DNA, reduce sexual ability, or render women infertile. However, no scientific basis for this has been found.
Free if it doesn’t match?
This vaccine is now being given officially free of charge in Bangladesh. What if you have to buy later? What if the country now runs out of vaccines? Many people now want to get vaccinated with these ideas.
Sathy Sarkar says, “If the Bangladeshi government can’t bring in more vaccines later? Then I’ll stay out. And if I don’t take it now, I may have to buy it privately later. What if its price is more high or tall? ?
Kawsar Afsana teaches public health at BRAC University’s James P. Grant School of Public Health. Think: “I have talked to all kinds of people. It is a question of whether others go. When people are watching and another has left, he has also left. Many have asked their relatives about the vaccine if they have registered a vaccine “. . It has worked to motivate. Another thing that has worked here is that we have lowered the vaccination age to 40. The vaccination registry has increased, interest has increased ”.
The numbers say that
It is understood that the interest in vaccination is increasing according to the information provided by the Department of Health. The first vaccination of a nurse at Kurmitola Hospital in Dhaka on January 26 was the launch of the coronavirus vaccine in Bangladesh. At that time, about 600 people were vaccinated in two days for observation. Registration on the website has started since that day.
According to the Health Department, from that day until February 8, after the start of the national mass vaccination program, around five lakh people were registered in 12 days. But since then the number of registrations has quadrupled in the last seven days. Around 20 lakh of registrations have been made as of the afternoon of February 15th. Millions of doses have been vaccinated.
Vaccinate important people
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina officially inaugurated the coronavirus vaccine by administering the covishield vaccine to Runu Veronica Costa, a nurse at Kurmitola Hospital. Then the mass immunization program began with the vaccination of the country’s health minister. Since then, several government ministers, high court judges, several diplomats, the Dhaka police commissioner, the rector of Dhaka University, the head of the army, singers, actresses and many others have been vaccinated and widely reported in the media. As a result, people are more interested in getting vaccinated.
Nasima Sultana, additional director general of the health department, said: “Interest in vaccinating important people has increased a lot. It has certainly acted as a motivation. People have seen that nothing is wrong with them. They are encouraging.”
Travel facilities
On the other hand, there is a possibility that a coronavirus vaccine certificate will be required while traveling to many countries. Several European countries have already started talks on how to certify the Kavid vaccine internationally. An application is already being tested. Avoiding the hassle of traveling can be a factor in increasing interest in ticks.
An airline official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “I am taking it for this reason. Take acquaintances. Otherwise, I will not be able to travel to many places.
Based on information provided by travel agencies, migrant workers in Bangladesh may need to show a vaccination certificate to obtain a visa. They are getting such leads from some Middle Eastern countries.
