Those who registered for Covid-19 vaccine through the Surokkha app or website will mostly get the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine, said the minister. The government has already ordered or has been assured of enough Covid-19 vaccine doses to reach its target, the minister assured. In total, Bangladesh will receive 70 million vaccine doses from China, 105 million from the World Health Organization and another 68 million through the Covax facility, he added. “Currently we have around 15 million Covid-19 vaccine doses in hand,” he said, before assuring that there would be no shortage of vaccines. People who will receive their first Covid-19 vaccine dose during the drive will get their second dose after a month in a similar campaign, Maleque said.
