Khaleda received SMS, likely to get vaccinated before Eid: physician

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has received an SMS for her first dose of Covid-19 vaccine, as she registered online through the government-approved app, Surokkha, 10 days back.

"Madam got an SMS as a formality to have the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine," said her medical team member and BNP vice-chairman Dr AZM Zahid Hossain today.

He said the BNP chief is likely to get vaccinated any day before Eid-ul-Azha.

Replying to a question, he said Khaleda will go to Sheikh Russel Gastroliver Institute and Hospital in Dhaka's Mohakhali to receive the vaccine, maintaining health safety rules.

On July 8, the BNP chairperson got registered for the vaccine.
