DHAKA: With measles killing over 450 kids in Bangladesh since mid-March, a court order has been sought for barring former interim govt chief adviser Muhammad Yunus and 24 others from leaving the country pending completion of probe into the shortage of measles vaccines during his tenure.
Though measles is highly preventable with two doses of vaccine — administered from age of nine months — Bangladesh allegedly had a severe shortage of vaccines between 2024 and 2025, when Yunus was chief of the interim govt.
