9 countries including Germany will also give the third dose of Corona vaccine

Desk report:  Individuals who may have more symptoms of corona will be given a third booster dose of the corona tick. Germany announced this on Monday. However, Germany is not the first. Germany is the ninth country to announce a third dose for the population. This decision is due to concerns about the Delta variant.Israel has already started giving boosters to people aged 60 and over. Germany and Britain will also start the third dose from September. Germany will give Pfizer or Modern booster dose. But around the world, where many people have not yet received the first dose, many are criticizing the three doses. According to UNICEF, 4.5 billion doses of the corona vaccine have been distributed worldwide so far. A small portion of it still goes to low-income countries. The United States, for example, is the third most populous country in the world. There is or is enough vaccination for 60% of the total population. Indonesia, meanwhile, has the fourth largest population. Vaccination has reached only 26% of the total population. This number is only 3% in the Middle East and North Africa. 1.2% in sub-Saharan Africa. Meanwhile, Bangladesh has touched a new milestone in the corona vaccination program. So far, more than 1 crore people have been brought under the vaccine. According to the Department of Health, 1 crore 9 thousand 993 people have been vaccinated so far. 44 lakh 18 thousand 131 of them got the second dose. However, Bangladesh lags far behind the rate at which 40 per cent of the country’s population needs to be vaccinated this year to complete two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. By 2022, Bangladesh is far behind in vaccinating 80 percent of the country. And three countries in South Asia are lagging behind Bangladesh. They are: zero point 04 percent in Bhutan, zero point 06 percent in Maldives, zero point 05 percent in Afghanistan. The picture emerges from a report by a task force comprising the IMF, the World Bank, the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization to monitor immunization in the developing world. However, both Bhutan and Maldives have much lower population ratios than Bangladesh. As such, the two countries have vaccinated a large portion of their population. In order to vaccinate 40 percent of the population of Bangladesh with a population of 16 crore, it will take 13 crore 17 lakh doses of vaccine. And 80 percent will need to be vaccinated with about 200 million doses.
The task force says that if 40 per cent of the people have to be vaccinated by this year, Bangladesh will have to vaccinate at the rate of 0.49 per cent per day. And in the middle of 2020, if 60 percent of the people are to be vaccinated, they will have to be vaccinated at the rate of 0.35 percent per day.
A few days ago, 6 lakh 71 thousand 320 doses of astragenera vaccine arrived in Bangladesh in the second shipment from Japan under Kovax. Bangladesh has so far received 1.2 crore doses of AstraZeneca vaccine from the Serum Institute of India (SII).Despite the progress made, it will be difficult for Bangladesh to achieve its goal of providing 100% vaccination. This decision to give a third booster dose to developed countries may be called into question amid the uncertainty of developing countries getting the vaccines they need. Coronavirus transmission began in late December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. So far, Corona has spread to 216 countries and regions of the world including Bangladesh.
