  abstract = {{B}angladesh has fully vaccinated 76 per 100 population against {COVID}-19. {H}owever, ensuring higher coverage in vulnerable sites is subject to various challenges. {W}e report the {COVID}-19 vaccine uptake and its correlates among the adults residing




in two vulnerable sites in {B}angladesh. {W}e conducted a cross-sectional study between {A}ugust and {S}eptember 2022 in two sites with a high prevalence of in- and out-migration. {D}uaripara, a slum in northeast {D}haka, was selected as the in-migration site. {T}ala, a disaster-prone




sub-district located in southwest {S}atkhira, was selected as the out-migration site. {W}e surveyed 2502 adults (1239 from {D}uaripara; 1263 from {T}ala) from 1211 randomly selected households. {W}e reported coverage and examined associations




between the uptake and background characteristics using {P}oisson, and {T}wo-part regression models. {A}dditionally, we checked for spatial autocorrelation to assess equitable distribution geographically. {T}he coverage for the first and second doses of the {COVID}-19 vaccine were about




91% and 80.3% in {D}uaripara, and 96.6% and 92.2% in {T}ala, respectively. {F}or the third dose, it was about 14% in {D}uaripara and 52.4% in {T}ala. {F}or {T}ala, the uptake was significantly associated with age, education, and occupation. {I}nterestingly,




it was associated positively with television access ({I}ncidence rate ratio: 1.04, p-value = 0.01) and negatively with smart-phone access ({IRR}: 0.96, p-value = 0.04). {R}espondents who temporarily migrated were more likely to remain unvaccinated




({IRR}: 0.90, p-value <0.001). {F}or {D}uaripara, age and occupation were associated with the uptake. {F}or both sites, the uptake was neither associated with income or wealth, nor correlated with geographical location, indicating equitable distribution.




{T}he credit for high {COVID}-19 vaccine coverage in {B}angladesh dates back to its long history of implementing immunization programs through community mobilization and creating demand through health education. {H}owever, full vaccination is




essential to reduce {COVID}-19-related deaths. {H}ealth authorities need to pay special attention to vulnerable sites.},
