Out of the 45 deaths between Oct 25 and 31, only six were vaccinated
Nearly 87% of the people who died of the coronavirus in the past week were unvaccinated, official figures suggest. 
Forty-five fatalities were reported in the seven days to October 31 and only six of them received at least the first dose of the vaccine, the health directorate said in a media release on Monday.
Meanwhile, the campaign to vaccinate school and college students aged 12-17 against Covid-19 kicked off in Dhaka on Monday. A total of 2,000 students were vaccinated on the first day.

While inaugurating the vaccine campaign for 12–17-year-olds, Health Minister Zahid Maleque said children under the age of 12 would not receive the vaccine until the World Health Organization (WHO) issued instructions on the matter.
“So far, we have received 9.6 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Of this, 1.4 million doses have been administered, and the remaining 8.2 million doses will be given to the students,” he said.
The WHO has said it will provide Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the future. They will be used to vaccinate children at the district and upazila levels, the minister added.
