There is no uncertainty about getting the vaccine from the Serum Institute of India and the second dose will be administered as per schedule, Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal said Wednesday.

“We were in a meeting moments ago. Health minister was also there. He didn’t express any apprehension about the vaccine,” the finance minister said.

“The government has already cleared payments of the Indian company. So there is no reason of not getting the vaccines,” Kamal said.

The minister was addressing a virtual press briefing after a meeting of the cabinet committee on public purchase.

When asked if the government has any plan to close offices and courts amid the rise of coronavirus infections, he said we will take the next decision considering the availability of the vaccine. Attempts will be made to tackle coronavirus considering some issues. Meanwhile, the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister has informed about the steps.
