The drive, aimed at children below the age of five, began with 12 districts identified by the department of health as being in urgent need of catching up. The plan was for these 12 districts to catch up by the end of January, after which the rest of the country would follow.
However, it appears that the drive did not meet its targets in the priority districts by the end of January, and not all 12 districts started on time.
Spotlight has only seen data on progress in the priority districts up to January. Despite several requests, we have not been able to access more recent data or data for the rest of the country.

As I settle down to pen this write-up, the incessant calls and messages on my phone serve as a poignant reminder of how our lives have been reshaped and defaced by the Covid-19 pandemic. In response, I offer what medical advice I can regarding Covid tests, treatment and follow-up, but can t oblige the requests of help with admissions in hospital beds, especially in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs). There are no vacancies anywhere, it seems. The increasing frequency of the news of deaths of near and dear ones is unnerving and unsettling. A year on, and we re back to square one. It has been a little more than a year since the first coronavirus cases were detected in Bangladesh, but the same, if not deeper, challenges and uncertainties remain.
