Unveiling the dimension of regional disparities: Assessing the disruption of immunisation services by COVID-19 in Bangladesh
Our findings highlight the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on childhood immunisation across regions in Bangladesh. Sylhet, Chattogram, and Dhaka divisions experienced the most significant reductions in immunisation services during 2020. This underscores the importance of targeted interventions and regional strategies to mitigate the indirect effects of future challenges on essential health care services, particularly childhood immunisation, in Bangladesh.
