Bangladesh, China discuss Covid-19 vaccine assistance: Ambassador

Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming on Friday said China is now in close discussion with Bangladesh over coronavirus vaccine assistance.

"China just announced to provide 10 million Covid-19 vaccines to developing countries through the COVAX initiative," said the ambassador in a video message marking the Chinese New Year.

Bangladesh government launched the countrywide vaccination campaign on February 7.

Five million doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, procured from the Serum Institute of India, arrived last month. India also gifted two million doses of the vaccine.
