According to the KMC Public Health Department, 63 percent eligible population has received a full dose of the vaccine while 75 percent has got the first shot so far. The KMC has forwarded vaccination campaigns in an effective manner as cases of coronavirus are increasing in the recent period.

Chief of KMC Public Health Department, Hari Kunwar, said that the vaccination programme has been accelerated for those remaining to administer a second dose and the eligible citizens remaining to get both doses of vaccine. There are 1.563 million people from the eligible group to be vaccinated in Kathmandu.

The vaccination programme is being run from 11 places out of 32 in KMC daily, while the vaccination programme is being operated at four main checkpoints of entry to the Kathmandu Valley by deploying health teams, according to the KMC.
