KATHMANDU: Minister for Health and Population Bhanu Bhakta Dhakal has assured that Nepalis will receive vaccine against COVID-19 immediately it comes to the market after the certification.

At a concluding ceremony of ‘World Antimicrobial Awareness Week’ organised by the Ministry on Tuesday, Minister Dhakal said that Nepalis will get the vaccine soon after its successful certification.

On the occasion, he also called for support from all sides for the control and prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some days ago, President Bidya Devi Bhandari had issued Drug (Third Amendment) Ordinance to ensure accessibility of COVID-19 vaccine.
