NARAYANGANJ,  – Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Maleque today urged all people to receive COVID-19 vaccines to protect themselves from the deadly virus.

“I am urging all levels of people to take vaccines, as vaccine is the only remedy to eradicate COVID-19 pandemic from the country,” he made the call after visiting a 300-capacity COVID-19 dedicated hospital at Khanpur in Narayanganj city.

“A section of people are spreading rumour over COVID-19 vaccine… but people received COVID-19 vaccines spontaneously ignoring the rumors,” the health minister said, adding all sorts of rumors have been proved false as the people are thronging the designated hospitals to take vaccines.
