Nepal is investigating how a Bahraini prince planning to climb Mount Everest brought 2,000 coronavirus vaccine doses to the country without prior approval, authorities said. Sheikh Mohamed Hamad Mohamed Al Khalifa, who flew into Kathmandu on Monday, planned to donate the AstraZeneca shots in a village, according to the Nepali Embassy in Bahrain. “It was brought without meeting the required procedure and prior consent from our office. We are investigating and will take a decision on whether it can be used,” Santosh KC, spokesman for the Department of Drug Administration, told the AFP news agency on Wednesday.
