“In the context of the Kathmandu Valley, students can visit Nepal Police Hospital, Nepal Army Hospital, Armed Police Force Hospital, Civil Hospital and Radha Swami Isolation Center for their vaccination,” Dr Gautam added.


“Likewise, for students in other districts, the district administration will decide in this regard.”


Earlier, the government had decided to provide COVID-19 vaccines to university students attending their examinations after the protests of students against the government’s decision to conduct examinations in the physical presence of students.
