Noting that the anti-COVID vaccination campaign was underway to protect citizens from the contagious coronavirus infection, the minister urged the unvaccinated citizens to get inoculated in a timely manner. 


Stating that specialized hospitals have been established for children, army, police and employees, Minister Khatiwada said that the Health Ministry has decided to set up a hospital for the citizens above 50. A decision has already been made for the setup of a hospital for teachers, he informed. 


He added the government has arranged administration of vaccines against COVID-19 to the people above 12 lately and so far most of the citizens of the age class have received inoculation. 


A procurement process has been put forward to provide anti-COVID vaccine services to the children between 5-11 years, the Minister informed. He said the government is in a ready position to administer the inoculation service once the World Health Organization (WHO) gives a nod to it.
