Pediatric specialist Dr. Abid Hossain Molla advised that children who have already received two doses of the measles vaccine do not need to be vaccinated again. He explained that the first dose should be administered at nine months of age and the second at fifteen months. According to him, these two doses provide sufficient immunity against measles, eliminating the need for additional vaccination. Parents were urged to follow the recommended schedule and seek medical advice when necessary.
Meanwhile, Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Sakhawat Hossain Bokul announced that starting Sunday at 9 a.m., measles vaccinations will be administered to children aged six months to under five years in 30 upazilas across 18 districts. Alongside the vaccine, vitamin A capsules will be provided to sick children. The minister assured that no child will be left out of the vaccination program and that there is no risk of side effects for those previously vaccinated.
He added that the situation remains under control and urged the public not to panic.
