1:28Now PlayingBangladesh's government and aid agencies started vaccinating Rohingya refugees Tuesday as a virus surge raises health risks in the cramped camps where more than one million refugees live.
The highly transmissible delta variant is driving an infection surge across Bangladesh, with around 20,000 infections and 200 deaths recorded so far in Cox's Bazar district, where the refugees are based.
About 500 Bangladesh Red Crescent staff and volunteers joined health workers for the vaccination drive, in collaboration with the U.N. refugee agency.
Rohingya community leaders, front-line health care volunteers in the camps, and Rohingya older than 55 are in the first group to be vaccinated.
Over 65,000 of the nearly 900,000 refugees will be vaccinated in the first stage of the campaign.
Bangladesh has reported more than 1.3 million infections, including 22,897 deaths from COVID-19 since the pandemic began.
