Bangladesh will temporarily suspend fresh rounds of vaccination using the first dose of the Covishield vaccine that it had received from the Serum Institute of India. The move comes after weeks of uncertainty about continued supply of the vaccine following the devastating second wave in India.

Bangladesh has been waiting for 2 million Covishield doses but has not received it despite repeated reminders. Sunday’s announcement shows that Bangladesh is unable to begin fresh rounds.
