The first shipment of serum vaccine will arrive in the country on January 25 or 26. Health Minister Zahid Malek said the vaccination campaign would start a week later.

About 300 vaccination centers and 42,000 staff have been trained in Dhaka to provide the vaccine.

He added that the second wave of epidemic coronavirus infection has come under control. New infection and mortality figures suggest that.
