U.S. Delivers Additional Vaccines and Freezer Trucks to Bangladesh for COVID Vaccination Efforts

The U.S. purchased 18 trucks to help Bangladesh establish a dedicated fleet of specialized cold-chain vehicles to delivery COVID-19 vaccines across the country.

The U.S. Donates Another 10 Million Pfizer Vaccines to Bangladesh; U.S.-Donated Doses Now Exceed 38 Million

The U.S. donated an additional 10 million doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to Bangladesh, bringing the total U.S. government vaccine contribution to more than 38.6 million doses, with millions more scheduled to arrive over the coming months.

In addition to vaccine donations, the United States continues to work closely with Bangladesh to support the national COVID-19 vaccination campaign and strengthen the government’s response to the pandemic.  The United States has provided training to over 7,000 healthcare providers on the proper management and administration of vaccines.

“With the latest spike in COVID-19 infections, the United States is redoubling our efforts to help Bangladesh turn the tide against this surge. These doses will help expand vaccinations for students and those who are awaiting their first doses, while enabling vulnerable people to receive boosters to protect themselves against the growing presence of the Omicron variant,” said U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Helen LaFave.

This delivery of Pfizer vaccines is part of the United States’ commitment to lead the global COVID-19 response by donating a billion doses of Pfizer vaccine around the world through 2022.

To date, the United States has contributed over $121 million in COVID-related development and humanitarian assistance through USAID, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  This collaborative assistance aims to strengthen testing capacity and monitoring, enhanced case management and infection prevention and control practices, and improved the supply chain and logistics management systems.
