People above 18 years old can take the vaccine, said the DGDA in a press release.
The second dose of the vaccine can be taken four weeks after the first dose, it said, adding that the vaccine can be stored in temperatures between -15 and -25 degree Celsius.
The authorisation comes as the United States began shipping 2.5 million doses of Moderna’s Covid vaccine to Bangladesh on Tuesday, a White House official told AFP.
