Doctors fear vaccination centres may become virus hotspots

People are reportedly getting infected after vaccination. Officials say religious processions and political rallies are also driving the spread of the virus.

Five days after receiving his second dose of Covid-19 vaccine, Jitendra Chaudhary, a local from Tikapur, of Kailali district tested positive for Covid-19, last week. The 42-year-old, who works as a manual labourer in Kathmandu, said he could have contracted the virus while waiting in line at the immunisation centre.
