KATHMANDU, June 9: 67-year-old Laxmi Nagarkoti and her husband Baburam Nagarkoti (80) back in February went to receive their first shot of Covishield vaccine as a ‘privilege’ provided by the state. Their fear was wiped out after receiving the first dose as they didn’t experience any health issues but now it’s the wait for the second dose that is increasing anxiety amongst them.

KATHMANDU, April 1: Nepalis who received the first shot of COVID-19 vaccine on January 27 are unlikely to receive the second shot on time due to the government’s failure to procure the vaccine.
