Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine on Thursday afternoon.

“The Prime Minister took the Covid-19 vaccine this afternoon,” said PM’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim.

Earlier on February 24, Sheikh Rehana, the youngest daughter of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and sister of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, received the Covid-19 vaccine.

On January 28, the Covid-19 vaccination drive was rolled out at the capital’s five hospitals first and then across the country on February 7.

Many noted personalities and ministers have already taken jabs of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The vaccines are being administered at 1,005 centres across the country.
