Bangladesh receives new batch of Sinopharm vaccines

Bangladesh on Saturday received a new batch of China’s Sinopharm vaccines against Covid-19 as the country continued to fight the pandemic.

A plane of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the Chinese vaccine doses arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at around noon Saturday, Md. Shamsul Haque, a senior health ministry official, told journalists.

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, the Xinhua news agency reported.

To fight against the alarming spike in Covid-19 cases, Bangladesh has signed an agreement on the co-production of the Chinese Covid-19 vaccines locally.
