Many countries offered vaccines to Bangladesh

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said many countries have expressed their interest in providing novel coronavirus vaccines to Bangladesh, and the country will receive all those for ensuring vaccination up to rural level. We have procured three crore vaccine doses. The Indian government has sent 20 lakh doses as gift. Other countries are willing to provide the shots. We will take all those so that we can ensure vaccination up to rural level. We will take steps in this regard, she said.
