The government is mulling over allowing foreign companies to produce Covid-19 vaccines in Bangladesh as prices of imported jabs are high and the country needs more vaccines.
“India and China want to produce coronavirus vaccines in our country. If they follow the WHO rules, we will allow them to do so,” Health Services Division Secretary Md Abdul Mannan said while talking to the Daily Sun on Saturday.
“If Covid-19 vaccines are produced here, their prices will also be lower. As the country has a large population, it needs more vaccines,” he added.
