Bangladesh working to urgently bring 20m vaccine doses from India

Although there is no fixed date for its arrival, Khurshid expects the vaccines to be available in the first week of May.
The country is running low on COVID-19 vaccines amid fears that the government's stock could dry up within two weeks at the current rate of usage.
Bangladesh signed an agreement with the Serum Institute of India to purchase 30 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca in November. According to that deal, Beximco Pharmaceuticals is responsible for procuring the doses.
Speaking to bdnews24.com on Sunday, Khurshid said he spoke to Beximco's Managing Director Nazmul Hassan about the matter on Friday.
