Bangladesh is receiving 6 million or 67 million doses of the corona vaccine. The vaccine will be available in Bangladesh at the Gavi Kovax facility. Everyone will receive this vaccine in two doses. About 13 million people will receive the vaccine at a rate of 20 percent of the total population, according to the Department of Health. The vaccine will be available in 2021.
On Wednesday (November 25) in a program titled ‘Information meeting on health updates and Covid-19’, the line director of the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program of the Department of Health, Dr. Maryland. Shamsul Haque gave this information.
By the way, the World Health Organization and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) are working on the vaccine. And no matter what the vaccine is, the Global Vaccine Summit was held on June 4 to bring people from all over the world together. It was decided that everyone in the world would receive the vaccine equally through the ‘Co Vaccine’ facility.
Dr. Shamsul Haque said that the whole world is now working on vaccines. But whatever the vaccine, we are working to get it. He said: “Those who submit the national vaccine distribution plan first will get the vaccine first. “Once Gavy starts presenting plans, we hope we can present our plans on the first day.”
Last July, Bangladesh applied for Covax and Gavie accepted it on July 14. Bangladesh will receive 6 million or 68 million vaccines (two doses) of Gavi for 20 percent of the population. And the population rate is 34 million or 34 million people and it will be available by 2021. However, Gavi will not give it for free, so the government will have to go for co-financing. And I can buy it for between one point six and two dollars. And Bangladesh is working on this.
However, before the vaccine arrives, it is urgent to work on the National Vaccine Implementation Plan, which is in the last stage, said Dr. Shamsul Haque.
In addition to the Gavi vaccine, the government of Bangladesh is also preparing to purchase the vaccine directly. The government has signed a tripartite agreement between the Serum Institute of India and Beximco Pharmaceuticals. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be able to buy the AstraZeneca vaccine from Oxford for four dollars, with the manufacturer’s transportation costs adding another dollar. From there, Bangladesh will be able to buy 30 million doses. For this, the finance department has invested around 735 million rupees.
However, the vaccine must be prequalified by the World Health Organization and the European Commission. It must have the approval of the manufacturing company and the Bangladesh Drug Administration. Everything will be done with people’s safety in mind, even if an agreement has been reached.
“Apart from the sources of these two vaccines, we are also in contact with Sinovac. Russia’s Sputnik is moving forward. Shamsul Haque.
He said the JSK group was also in contact with Senofi and Pfizer and was discussing how to get their vaccine if there was an ’emergency’. However, some vaccines are very ‘questionable’ with the climate of our country and many countries in the world do not have a ‘low temperature’ system so they are also concerned.
The government has formed the Covid Vaccine Management Committee to work on these vaccines. The Bangladesh Vaccine Management Working Group is also working, there is a Central Committee for the Preparation and Deployment of Covid-19 Vaccines.
Director General of the Department of Health, Professor. Abul Basar Mohammad Khurshid Alam presided over the function. The Director of Central Pharmacy (CMSD) Abu Hena Morshed Zaman, Additional Director General for Health (Administration) Dr. Nasima Sultana, Additional Director General (Research and Development) Prof. Mirzadi Sebrina Flora and other officials.
