US provides 3mn new formula Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine doses

The United States has provided 3 million doses of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine to Bangladesh.

The latest donation has brought total vaccine donations to Bangladesh over 64 million doses and counting, said the US Embassy today (April 29, 2022).

This shipment contains a new ready-to-go formulation of Pfizer vaccines that does not require mixing before being administered.

This new mix can be stored for longer periods of time with minimal cold-chain capacity.

These new vaccines also arrive just in time to support the launch of a new booster campaign, said the embassy.
