The health authorities have said that the delays in getting vaccine SMS are being caused by a high number of registrations in the country.
"In most cases, the number of people registering is way more than the capacity of the vaccination centres in a given day," Prof Dr Md Nazmul Islam, spokesperson of the Directorate General of Health Services, said on Wednesday.
"We are trying our best to solve the problems. I am optimistic that we can deliver good news regarding this very soon," he added.
"The Covid positivity rate has been below 10% for the last four days. We expect it to go further down; we can then resume our normal life again," the spokesperson hoped.
