Lawmakers get second dose of vaccine while citizens are still waiting for theirs

They didn’t pressure the government to ensure vaccines for all as they knew they wouldn’t be deprived of the second dose, says a former general secretary at Parliament Secretariat. Around 1.3m people are still waiting for second jabs.

Yadav Sharma Dhakal, 65, from Balkot, Bhaktapur, got his first dose of Covishield jab in the second phase of vaccination in early March. He was told the second dose would be administered in around two months since his first dose on March 7.
