More than 4.25 million children have been given typhoid vaccinations: UNICEF

UNICEF representative Rana Flatters has informed that more than 4 crore 25 lakh children are given typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) in Bangladesh.

In a statement on Sunday (December 7), he said that the vaccine has reached more than 97 percent of children in this campaign in 2025. It is the eighth country in the world to prevent typhoid.

The achievement has proved that the government of Bangladesh is committed to protecting children from preventable diseases and economic and stressful family stress, the successful implementation of vaccines is very important for child health, but only 39.3 percent of the people in the country have access to safe water, the water source is half of the source of water and 84.9. Percentage sample is kept by the E-coli bacteria, which is putting millions of children at risk of typhoid.

Rana Flyers said, "The children are facing this risk every day, so TCV vaccines protect them from serious illnesses. This campaign has ensured the safety of children before safe water. He thanked the parents and said that they have given priority to their children's health and welfare."

UNICEF has supported the immunization activities of the Bangladesh government, which includes supply of 54 million doses of TCV, setting up new cold rooms, using cold chain development and digital vacI platform. Also, he has been increasing their capacity by providing training and guidance to health workers for the nation's campaign. He has congratulated the efforts of the Bangladesh government, health and family welfare ministry, health and family welfare and the entire country in this initiative.
