The consignment consists of 3 million doses of Moderna vaccine and 2.9 million of Pfizer vaccine, he said. We don’t know the exact date.”Another consignment of vaccines from Chinese company Sinopharm will also reach Bangladesh in July, the minister said. “We hope to get a big consignment of vaccine doses this month, which we were supposed to get in monthly consignments when we bought them previously (from the Serum Institute of India). COVAX authorities organise the shipment of the vaccines themselves, but Bangladesh needs to arrange the transportation for the Sinopharm doses by air, the minister said. As of now, Bangladesh has approximately 15.9 million doses of coronavirus vaccines, including Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Sinopharm vaccines.
