People have not struggled so hard to find a cure for any other epidemic in the world.
Public health experts believe that a single vaccine is currently the only way to fight coronavirus.
People have not struggled to find a cure for any other epidemic in the world, such as the Spanish flu, cholera, smallpox, swine flu, and Ebola.
Countries that do not have the capacity to discover a vaccine through research - they have to fight with the developed and rich countries of the world to get it.
Bangladesh is also working on how to get this vaccine quickly as soon as it is discovered.
How far is Bangladesh in the race to get the vaccine?
High-ranking government health officials had a meeting on Monday with people involved in the vaccine sector, public health experts.
Md. Abdul Mannan, Secretary, Department of Health, Ministry of Health, said: Attempts are being made to maintain contact. That's what we talked about today. "
He said ICDDR, B, an international health research organization, would help build the link.
Bangladesh will try to use the communication that the organization has at the international level.
In a densely populated country like Bangladesh, public health experts think that the vaccine is very much needed.
Mr. Mannan says, “They have a lot of specialists working directly at the international level, working with the World Health Organization.
Trying to use them as a means of communication. They said they would try. "
Mr. Mannan claims that Bangladesh is well on its way to finding the most successful vaccine against coronavirus.
It costs money to bring the vaccine
A foreign ministry official indicated that Bangladesh had already invested in Europe to get the vaccine faster.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health are maintaining bilateral contacts with several countries regarding the vaccine.
However, Md. Abdul Mannan says that Bangladesh will have to spend money to get the successful test for the coronavirus vaccine.
He says it is not yet clear what the source of the money will be. Earlier, however, Bangladesh had spoken to a number of international aid agencies.
World Health Organization in vaccine distribution
The World Health Organization (WHO) has compiled a list of 90 countries that do not discriminate against those who do not have the ability to invent vaccines or have limited purchasing power.
Those who will get the vaccine for free - Bangladesh is also on the list of the World Health Organization.
In this case, the per capita income of a country has been considered and this vaccine will be given according to the demand of a country.
Many volunteers have taken part in clinical trials at Oxford.
Participate in clinical trials
Many countries around the world, including Brazil and India, are taking part in clinical trials to test the vaccine in humans.
And so they are expected to benefit from the vaccine. It has been heard that Bangladesh is also joining China in such a clinical trial, but no decision has been taken yet.
Which could have taken Bangladesh further in the race to get the vaccine.
Head of the Department of Epidemiology, Bangladesh University of Health Sciences. Pradeep Kumar Sen Gupta says, "We will get some number of vaccines. But yes, if we had participated in the trial, our position would have been a little better."
In his words, "Bangladesh will have to go through a clinical trial today or tomorrow before the vaccine arrives. There are many steps that need to be taken before the vaccine can hit the market. It also needs to be tested according to ethnic diversity. It is different. So there should be a trial of the vaccine in Bangladesh as well. "
Those in Bangladesh will get it first
Although Bangladesh has been able to bring the vaccine after its invention, priority will be given to people at risk within the country.
These include those who are directly involved in medical services to prevent the Kovid-19 epidemic, those over the age of sixty, those with a variety of complex physical problems such as kidney, heart, lung disease, people with diabetes and pregnant women will be given priority
In Bangladesh, priority will be given to people at risk.
This means that those who are at higher risk of contracting coronavirus due to reduced immunity will be given priority.
People at high risk of coronavirus in Bangladesh are 10 percent of the total population.
How important is the coronavirus vaccine for Bangladesh?
About two hundred companies and research institutes around the world are now working on the discovery of the coronavirus vaccine.
Leading trials on human flesh are Oxford in the United Kingdom, Sinovac in China, Modern in the United States, and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Australia. Six vaccines are in the third phase of clinical trials.
Chief Scientific Officer of the Institute of Pathology, Disease Control and Research. ASM Alamgir says, "Bangladesh needs a vaccine because Bangladesh is a very densely populated country. In a developing country like ours for so long, it is very difficult to keep people at home because everything is closed. Because survival requires livelihood."
"It is difficult to say when the virus will leave any country in the world. If the infection persists for a long time, some people could at least be safe if the vaccine could intervene.
