He made the request during a conversation over phone with the Indian External Affairs Minister, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Bangladesh entered into a deal with the Serum Institute of India (SII) to purchase 30 million doses of a potential vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca for Covid-19.

In a desperate move to continue the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine, Bangladesh on Tuesday urged Canada to provide at least 2 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine on an emergency basis.
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen made the call when the High Commissioner of Canada to Bangladesh Benoit Prefontaine called on him in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday.
Stating the emergency need of 1.6 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine to provide second doses, he underscored that this is at present a high priority for Bangladesh.
The main point of discussion with the Canadian envoy was on the possibility of receiving AstraZeneca vaccine from Canada to meet up immediate second dose vaccine requirements in Bangladesh, said the Foreign Ministry.
