Much ado about vaccine

Nepal must put in place an effective vaccine policy so as to ensure total coverage.

The whole world today is at war, but together against a common enemy. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought an unprecedented challenge to humanity. The number of infections is soaring–and so is the number of deaths. It’s a race against time, as countries like the United States, China, India, the United Kingdom and Russia, to name a few, are scrambling to find a vaccine for the coronavirus. There is no clarity yet as to when the first sure shot vaccine will be available for the larger populations. And for a country like Nepal, even if the vaccines become available, having the shots here for the general populace almost immediately could be a pipedream.
