Around one million children, above five years of age, have not received even a single dose of the vaccine in Nepal, citing the country's Ministry of Health and Population.
Nepal will be receiving 1.5 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines (for booster dose) from the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization (GAVI) next month.
Limited supplies remain a problem, but experts say other challenges now include unpredictable deliveries, weak health care systems and vaccine hesitancy.
Half of the world's population is currently fully vaccinated against COVID-19, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Stella Kyriakides said on Wednesday.
A total of 1.3 million vaccines provided by France and Italy through COVAX have arrived in Nepal today to assist in the Government of Nepal's vaccination campaign against COVID-19.
