KATHMANDU: Identity card issued by the Department of Information and Broadcasting has not been made compulsory to the media persons to get the Covishield vaccination.

The Ministry of Health and Population has managed vaccination against COVID-19 to journalists at the Civil Service Hospital for Kathmandu-based journalists. The vaccination began on Monday.

Over 300 journalists have so far got vaccinated from the hospital.
