Bangladesh's refusal to co-fund the trials of a Chinese Covid-19 vaccine has narrowed down its options for getting vaccines when they will be ready, experts said.

The government insists that it is in talks with makers of five front-running vaccine candidates. But its efforts are not visible compared to the frantic efforts being made by many countries, they said.

A number of countries have already made investments to get vaccines from companies that were conducting phase-III trials but the Bangladesh government is yet to make that move, they said.
