Officials say Gen Z protests delayed vaccination, and are planning to administer oral vaccine to over 1.8 million people in Parsa and Bara districts.

After efforts to contain the spread of cholera, which broke out in Birgunj last month and spilled over to adjoining local units and districts, the Ministry of Health and Population is gearing up to administer cholera vaccine to vulnerable populations.
