Chinese workers in Bangladesh get Covid-19 shots

Chinese engineers and technicians working in mega projects in Bangladesh got their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine today.

Moreover, about 1,000 students from Bangladesh's four leading medical colleges -- Dhaka Medical College and Hospital, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College, Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mugda Medical College -- have taken their first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine produced by China's Sinopharm, said the Chinese Embassy in Dhaka.

The Chinese government gifted five lakh doses of the vaccine to Bangladesh earlier this month.
