The United Kingdom rolled out coronavirus vaccination programme yesterday and India is all set to do so later this month, but the Nepali government has not yet decided who will import vaccines.

So, it is anybody’s guess when Nepal’s programme to inoculate its population against the novel coronavirus disease, which has claimed at least 1,657 lives in Nepal, will begin.

Khem Bahadur Karki, adviser to Minister of Health and Population Bhanu Bhakta Dhakal, told THT today that the government would issue a notice within a week asking private and government companies to register for supplying COVID-19 vaccines. He added that eight committees formed to expedite the supply of COVID-19 vaccine and vaccination programmes were working on a war footing.
