In Pahartali, Chattogram, EPI vaccines for children are provided at the Chairman’s Office. The EPI card clearly states that both the vaccines and vaccination card are completely free. However, they are charging 100 taka just to make the card, sometimes even more based on the family’s financial status. They also demand an additional 20, 50, or 100 taka during each vaccination visit. When I protested, they said, “We don’t charge this in villages, but here you have to pay.” I refused to pay and left. This is a serious issue that should be investigated. If EPI services are officially free, people should not be forced to pay unofficial fees. I also have video evidence of the incident.
