The cabinet yesterday expressed hope that Bangladesh would get the Covid-19 vaccine on a priority basis as the government was in touch with all countries and organisations trying to develop it.
This optimism was expressed at the cabinet meeting held virtually, with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the Chair.
The PM joined the meeting through a video conference from the Gono Bhaban, while her cabinet colleagues got connected from the Bangladesh Secretariat.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam said, "Detailed discussions were held on Covid-19 vaccine today [yesterday].... Bangladesh will get it on a priority basis relatively at a lower price. Not only that, our one or more pharmaceutical companies will also be able to produce vaccines."
The cabinet yesterday also declared March 7 as "Historic Day" instead of the "National Historic Day" in a bid to observe the day nationally and internationally, commemorating the historic March 7 speech of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
