Scrambling for jabs, Nepal in talks with Russia, China, US Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, April 30 When Nepal launched its vaccination drive against the coronavirus on January 27, the number of new infections was already in decline. There were few hospitalisations. It looked like the country had returned to a near normal situation. An over-enthusiastic KP Sharma Oli, the prime minister, at the time declared that everyone in the country would be vaccinated within three months.
Things indeed were not looking that grim then. India had provided 1 million doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in a grant assistance, with which the inoculation campaign was launched. Nepal became one of the first countries to roll out vaccines against Covid-19 even as more than 100 countries were struggling.
