A shield for those waiting for Covishield!
Ever since the advent of the eagerly awaited vaccine, Covishield by Oxford Astrazeneca from Serum Institute of India, on January 27 this year, Bangladesh became one of the notable countries to roll out its vaccination programme against the novel coronavirus. In a month s time, over 1.5 million people have received the first dose of the vaccine and many more are anticipating their turn. The impressive start to the vaccination drive is, indeed, a commendable feat of the government. Beginning with the quick online registration to the smooth and efficacious vaccine administration at the centre, the entire process has been executed in an orderly manner that can be an effective example to be followed by many nations.
People may have a choice of three or four coronavirus vaccines in a few weeks, and pick which one to take with the government expanding the inoculation drive and allowing beneficiaries to choose their vaccination centres from Monday, chief of Delhi's premier All India Institutes of Medical Sciences has told NDTV.
