Prime Minister Tariq Rahman told Parliament that measles vaccination for children was not imported from abroad during the interim government. He gave this information during the question and answer session in the National Parliament on Wednesday (April 22).
The Prime Minister said, ‘We all have expelled the dictatorship from the country. But unfortunately during that interim government measles vaccine for children was not imported from abroad.
Unicef is currently helping to get vaccinations, the Prime Minister said, ‘UNICEF sent the measles vaccination very quickly, as a result we got the medicines. We will give this measles vaccination to about two crore children.’
Prime Minister Tariq Rahman admitted that there is a shortage of kits for testing. He said that the government is working on it.
The Prime Minister said, ‘Many of the kits have arrived. It is likely that three children can be tested with one kit. Some of the kits are probably at Dhaka customs at the moment, at the airport.’
