Vaccination drives will begin tomorrow using these doses,” Maj Gen Mahbubur Rahman, director general of DGDA, said on Tuesday. An Air India plane flew the vaccine shots to Dhaka on Thursday. On the World Health Organisation’s scale, Serum Institute of India is a world-class vaccine developer,” Rahman said. Bangladesh also received two million doses of the same vaccine from India for free, which prompted the authorities to begin vaccination earlier than they had originally planned. Around 400-500 people will get the first vaccine shots on Jan 27-28.
