Businesspersons involved in the import of vaccines say the government must reach deals with COVID-19 vaccine producing countries and inform what quantities of vaccines it wants to import from those companies or else, the country might not get the vaccines on time.

A drug supplier who did not want to be quoted said the government should have already signed deals with vaccine producers by now to secure timely supply of vaccines as that would enable suppliers to open LC and make payments to the companies in advance.

“If the government fails to do what is required now, we might not get vaccines in February or March when other countries around the world will get COVID-19 vaccines. It will not serve our purpose if we get COVID-19 vaccines only after six months or a year,” the source added.
