Public health experts are warning that massive Eid travel and overcrowding could accelerate the spread of measles across Bangladesh during the holiday season.
More than 5 hundred children have reportedly died this year from measles and related complications after outbreaks spread in different parts of the country.
Although the government launched an emergency vaccination campaign in April, experts say monitoring and implementation gaps still remain.
Doctors fear that crowded buses, trains, and family gatherings during Eid may increase contact among children and worsen transmission rates nationwide.
