Dhaka, April 8: The second dose of coronavirus vaccine has been started in the country. The second dose of vaccination started at 8:30 am on Thursday (April 8) at various centers across the country, including the capital. Despite the strict restrictions announced by the government, those who were scheduled to take a second dose went to the center to get vaccinated.
