Bangladesh will receive more than 7.5 million Covid-19 vaccines from COVAX, China, Japan, and the European Union (EU) soon, said Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen.

"More than 3 million doses of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine are being sent to Bangladesh via COVAX. The shipment is ready, as confirmed by our mission in Geneva", said foreign minister Momen on his verified Facebook page.

Along with that, 2.9 million doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine are being sent by Japan under the COVAX initiative.

The Minister also said China will give Bangladesh another 1 million doses of the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine on 15 July (in addition to the commercial purchase agreement).

The post further added one million doses of Covid-19 vaccines from the EU and a further 620,000 doses via the COVAX will reach Bangladesh in August.
Meanwhile, as Bangladesh sees an alarming rise in Covid-19 cases, the government has decided to curb the Covid-19 lockdown restriction from 15 July ahead of Eid-ul-Adha.

In less than two weeks of July, 2,136 lives were lost to the infection – close to the 2,404- fatality mark in the deadliest April this year.

More vaccine doses will arrive from China, says the health minister

Bangladesh is set to receive six million more doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine in August under the Covax facility, according to the health minister.

Zahid Maleque made the disclosure on Saturday while speaking to reporters during a visit to the vaccination centre at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College (BSMMC) in Dhaka.

He said the issues surrounding the vaccine stock in the country have now been “resolved.”

“You all will be glad to hear that WHO, in a letter sent on Friday, informed us that Bangladesh will get six more million Pfizer vaccine shots under the Covax initiative,” said the minister.

He said that the vaccines will arrive by the first week of August, adding that the Covax facility has so far provided a total of 4.5 million vaccines to the country.

At the same time, more vaccines will come from China, Maleque said.

“More vaccines will arrive from China.

Bangladesh is to receive over 1.5 to 1.85 million vaccine jabs in the next month or so.”
On May 31, Bangladesh received a consignment of 100,620 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, the first under the international vaccine-sharing platform Covax.

The vaccine's preservation temperature ranges between -90°C and -60°C. However, it can remain stable for five days at 2°C to 8°C and for two hours at 30°C, according to health authorities.

As the country managed to rebuild vaccine reserves, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) resumed vaccine registration while reducing the minimum age to 35 on Thursday. Eligible candidates can register through instant messaging app imo, as well as through the surokkha website and app.

Bangladesh has so far approved seven vaccines for emergency use: Oxford-AstraZeneca, Sputnik V, Sinopharm, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinovac, Johnson and Johnson, and Moderna.

Good and this is especially important for the 1.5 million that need the 2nd dose of AstraZeneca.

UK data shows that 2 doses of Pfizer or AstraZeneca provides 95% protection from severe disease/hospitalisation and 97-98% from death.

Unfortunately the experience of Indonesia suggests the Sinopharm vaccine is far less effective and where possible I would like the Chinese vaccine to be given to those in priority groups at the lesser end of the risk scale.

I believe city dwellers will mostly get Pfizer and Moderna. If not they will get AstraZeneca.

Sinopharm likely to be given at the villages or at upazilla level.

This may be logistically easier but this is giving a 2nd class vaccine to people living outside cities and large towns.

Indonesia is going through a horrendous time and deaths have hit 1,000 a day and still rising . The Chinese vaccine is proving to be not that effective at stopping the Indian Delta variant from hospitalising and killing people.

We know from UK data that both Pfizer and AstraZeneca are extremely effective against severe disease from the Indian Delta variant and by extension Moderna would also be.

BD needs to do some extra work and target the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine at those at the lowest risk on the prioroty groups as otherwise 1000s would die who could have been saved.


PS - Remember that Pfizer can be stored at fridge temperature for 5 days and Moderna for 30 days and so it can be worked around in a relatively small country like BD.

Indonesia only use Sinoparm for companies who bought that from government ( not free). No data about the effectiveness yet for Indonesian case.

Indonesia uses in large majority Sinovacs and has proven 98 % effective against death. You have seen the data as well right from Jakarta Globe ? So why keep repeating this again and again ??

The Sinovac is also effective against new Delta variant

The data is there for all to see.

Official deaths have reached an extremely high level of 1000 a day in Indonesia and on a rising trend. Let us move away from trials and onto real world data now as a trial is just a trial.

I saw a documentary yesterday on BBC which said that the actual deaths may be far far higher than this and patients are dying now due to lack of available oxygen like what happened in India. BD itself will run out of beds in just a week's time if the cases do not stop rising and the government is desperately trying to set up emergency field hospitals.

I have nothing to gain by running a hate campaign against Chinese vaccines but BD has a choice and it should only use Chinese vaccines on the least vulnerable. Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca must do the heavy lifting and Sinopharm as a backup for those at lesser risk.

LOL. If you want to analyze some thing, do it correctly, are you educated in UK ?

You cannot make the analyze like that since only 5 % of Indonesian is fully vaccinated. This will be different if you compare to US and UK where already huge portion are vaccinated. You cannot compare these to deduct conclusion on which vaccines is more effective since the situation is different.

Those even in Kudus region with Delta variants, most health workers are still only getting first dose, not yet second dose as data reveal the anti body increase significantly in the second dose.

The data about Delta varian can be seen in this


As of June 17, 6,085 health workers and health support personnel in Kudus had been vaccinated with the first dose, and 5,888 people had received the second dose.

“Almost 100 percent of the health workers in Kudus, amounting to around 6,000 people, have received the first and second doses of vaccination," Badai said.

"Of this number, only 308 health workers were exposed or around 5.1 percent of the total number of health workers. Most of them have recovered and have started working again," he said.

Abdul Aziz Achyar, the director of Kudus's dr. Loekmono Hadi Regional General Hospital, said a total of 153 health workers at the hospital confirmed to have Covid-19. Only 11 people, or 7.1 percent, needed hospitalization. The other 86 (56 percent) used to be in self-isolation but now ready to work, following the rest of their colleagues who had recovered earlier.

Look I do not know about your education but I hold a physics(theoretical options) degree from one of the top universities in the UK.

Science and mathematics are my field and so there is nothing that you can teach me here.

You are emotionally involved in the Chinese vaccine for obvious reasons and so no point talking with you about this as you will find evidence to fit your conclusion rather than the other way round.


PS - You have already given 50 million doses and this should have protected a significant chunk of your "vulnerable" so far as not everyone is at the same risk. I am assuming that Indonesia is targeting the most at risk first and then working down the list for vaccination like other countries.

My education is taken in Indonesia and not even a master degree or physics and we can see which one use the correct methodology to do the analysist.

Talking about the vaccination rate, it is now 5.5 % fully vaccinated and 13.4 % one dose only.

Delta variants are easily transmitted, with 270 million population and health facility that is not as good as in US and UK, it is easy to understand that health facility over capacity that becomes the main reasons of death.

Just a sample taken by Indonesian journalist when she went to Hospital in Cengkareng, the doctor said that most death patients due to late treatment. Indonesian get difficulty to seek bed in hospitals, and the death for that particular hospital shows that thing

People in each country get different media information. For example, Japan was licensed to produce the AstraZeneca vaccine, but in Japan the Japanese government has banned the AstraZeneca vaccine in Japan because the mortality rate from vaccination is so high, and the Japanese government has resold or given away these produced AstraZeneca vaccines to other countries and regions, and Taiwan Province has obtained 1.1 million of these doses, causing hundreds of deaths, the youngest being only 41 years old. The U.S. also did not approve the AstraZeneca vaccine for use in the United States.



Let's look at the data from the UK, where the percentage of vaccination is still very high.

Number of people confirmed in the last 14 days

For the last 7 days, 30,000 per day, (UK's the second vaccination rate over 50%.)
