Dhaka, Dec. 7 -- UNICEF Representative to Bangladesh Rana Flowers has said more than 42.5 million children in Bangladesh have been given the typhoid vaccine.

In a statement, UNICEF said the Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine (TCV) Campaign 2025 has reached over 97 percent of the country's children, meaning more than 42.5 million children have been protected.

"This remarkable achievement is a testament to the commitment of the Government of Bangladesh to protect children from preventable death and suffering and their families from the cost burden and emotional pain that occurs when children become dangerously ill," Flowers said.

"It places Bangladesh among global leaders -- the eighth country in the world to introduce this life-saving campaign."...
