KATHMANDU: The vaccination campaign on children, aged 5-11, through 1,300 vaccination centers across the country, will continue today as well.
The campaign started on Thursday.
The campaign is being run in two phases: the first phase, starting today till June 29, will follow the second phase, from July 18 to 24.
The landmark campaign comes after Nepal received approximately 2.2 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on June 19 with U.S. assistance through COVAX.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will protect around 3.9 million Nepali children falling in the 5-11 age group when the vaccination campaign concludes.
Nepal began inoculating children against COVID-19, thanks to pediatric vaccines received from the United States (U.S.) through the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) initiative.
