With Bangladesh securing nearly 100 million doses of Covid vaccine from two sources by next year, the most pertinent question now is who will be vaccinated first.

No decision has been made yet but frontline healthcare workers are the ones likely to be vaccinated first as the country expects to receive the first shipment of vaccine doses from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, between February and June 2021, said officials of the health directorate.

Bangladesh will buy 68 million doses from Gavi under a global arrangement called COVAX facility and another 30 million doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine from Serum Institute of India via Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
