Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Friday said the government has taken all-out preparations to get Covid-19 vaccine quickly after it would come in the international market.
“With both government and non-government efforts, coordinated preparations have been taken to deliver the vaccine to the doorsteps of people in an easier and faster way,” he told a facemask distribution program for physicians at the Awami League president’s Dhanmondi political office.

He joined the function through videoconferencing from his official residence on parliament premises.
Under the initiative of Awami League’s sub-committee on relief and social welfare and sub-committee on health and population, high quality N95 facemasks were handed over on the occasion for distribution among physicians.
Quader, also the Awami League general secretary, urged the leaders and workers to conduct campaigns to raise consciousness among people about abiding by health guidelines.
The future situation regarding coronavirus cannot be predicted beforehand but the government has taken proper measures to face the situation, he added.
