Citing low booster uptake, Nepal may not seek immediate supply of Pfizer doses

COVAX has promised 1.5 million doses per month from March to October but supply remains halted.

The Ministry of Health and Population said it is undecided about resuming the supply of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine from the Covax facility. The supply has been halted since April this year, given the slow uptake of booster shots by the general public and the country’s limited capacity to store vaccines.
