Why only a few came

There is a serious lack of information about the vaccination drive.

Despite the unbearable lethargy in its response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the KP Oli administration has been comparatively more active in vaccine procurement. While the first phase of the vaccination drive was only partly successful, the second phase which began on Sunday promises to be no better. At the core of the debacle is the government’s failure to assess the exact number of eligible vaccine recipients—more specifically, the failure to figure out how many of them would actually turn up at the vaccination centres.
