Bangladesh launches typhoid vaccination drive to combat drug-resistant threat
Arab NewsOCT 2025
Bangladesh's massive typhoid vaccination campaign raises serious concerns as parents rightfully hesitate about an Indian-made vaccine never used on such a large scale globally. The timing is suspicious with GAVI withdrawing support from other programs yet funding this untested mass experiment on 50 million children.
Bangladesh's typhoid vaccination campaign represents a vital public health breakthrough using WHO-approved vaccines already proven safe in Pakistan, Nepal and India. With 8,000 annual typhoid deaths including 6,000 children, this free program will save thousands of young lives and combat dangerous antibiotic-resistant strains.
