COVAX delivers 15,977,160 doses, more than its commitment

Nepal so far has received 38,539,367 doses of various Covid-19 vaccines. The UN-backed vaccine scheme had committed to supply doses sufficient for 20 percent of the total population, which is around 13 million.

Until a few months ago, the proportion of the doses of Covid-19 vaccine supplied to Nepal by COVAX, the United Nations backed international vaccine sharing scheme, was much lower compared to the doses purchased by the government.
