The same is confirmed by Zahid Maleque who is the health minister of Bangladesh. He further said Bangladesh will buy every month from India once it successfully passes all the trials.

The error came soon after the Oxford University and Serum Institute announced that AstraZeneca is highly effective. But, the officials of the Institute said the vaccine is 60-70 percent effective against the virus so there is nothing to panic about.
