‘Anyone aged 30 and above is now can register for Covid vaccination,’ Directorate General of Health Services’ director Md Shamsul Haque told New Age on Monday evening.
In a previous move, the government lowered the age limit to 35 years from 40 years which was set in the beginning of inoculation in February this year.
