No Covid vaccine crisis in the country: Obaidul

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Monday said that the government has now enough Covid vaccine in hand to start a nationwide mass inoculation from next Saturday.

At a briefing at his residence the AL leader said there is no vaccine crisis in the country and urged the people not to heed any propaganda by vested interests.

“There is no crisis of the vaccine at present, but a vested quarter is trying to create panic that there is a vaccine crisis. They are also trying to break the morale of the people during the pandemic,” he said.

Quader said the government’s plan is to continue vaccination with the doses available as more jabs will come.

Saying that “There is no room for doubt about this,” he further

explained that the vaccine will continue to come in one direction as well as the vaccination programme will continue.

Quader, road transport and bridges minister, said the nationwide mass immunization programme is starting from August 7 and the government has already made necessary preparations to make the campaign successful through proper coordination.

He urged the concerned people to follow the vaccination protocol and be patient in conducting the drive among the villagers.
