DHAKA, Sept 12 (NNN-BSS) – Bangladesh, yesterday, received a new batch of China’s Sinopharm vaccines, as the country continues to fight the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane, carrying the vaccines arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, at around noon yesterday, Md. Shamsul Haque, a senior health ministry official, told journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bangladesh’s vaccination drive is now running smoothly in the capital Dhaka and elsewhere in the country, thanks largely to China’s continued support for vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To fight against the alarming spike in COVID-19 cases, Bangladesh signed an agreement on the co-production of the Chinese COVID-19 vaccines, locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed between China’s Sinopharm Group, Bangladesh’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Incepta Vaccine Ltd., a local vaccine manufacturing company, last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bangladesh began the COVID-19 vaccination drive in Jan, to contain the pandemic that has spread across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid uncertainty over the timely arrival of vaccine shipment from India, the government later halted administering the first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In June, the vaccination drive resumed in parts of the country, with the China-donated Sinopharm vaccines.– NNN-BSS <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
