The drugs administration on Thursday gave permission to the US-based Pfizer-manufactured Covid vaccine for its emergency use in Bangladesh.
Although the vaccine can be administered on anyone older than 12 years, in Bangladesh, the two-dose vaccine will be used following the government set age limit of 18, reads a circular signed by drugs administration director general Major General Md Mahbubur Rahman.
Earlier the government gave permission to Indian Serum Institute manufactured Oxford-Astra Zaneca vaccine, Russian Sputnik V and Chinese Sinopharm Covid vaccine.
