Health Minister Sardar Md. Sakhawat Hossain said that it will take four weeks for those who have been vaccinated to develop immunity against this disease. After that, the measles situation will normalize. He said this while talking to reporters after visiting Barisal Sadar Hospital at 11:30 am today, Monday (May 11).
\nThe Health Minister said that the measles vaccine was supposed to be given every four years, but this situation of measles has arisen due to its lack of continuity after 2020. The current government did not have any measles vaccine. The vaccine was collected in a short time. Currently, the number of patients has decreased.
\nToday, the Health Minister suddenly visited various hospitals in Barisal. While visiting Barisal Sadar Hospital at 10 am, he first went to the ticket counter. Seeing an employee absent there, he temporarily suspended him. Later, he checked the attendance records of the doctors and spoke to the patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
