Serum, the largest vaccine manufacturer in the world, is supplying 30 million doses of the vaccine, COVISHIELD, to Bangladesh. Besides two million doses as gift from the Indian government, Serum sent five million doses last month in the first batch of the import. But Secretary Mannan said there was no concern about getting five million doses in the second batch. The number of vaccination booths is being increased where necessary, including the Secretariat Clinic, “to stop vaccine doses being wasted”, Mannan said. Information Minister Hasan Mahmud took his first dose of the vaccine at the clinic on Wednesday.
