Nepal suspends deal to buy 6 million Pfizer doses from US manufacturer

Sources say the country has enough Moderna shots for children aged 12-17 years. Negotiations under way to buy 8.4 million Pfizer doses suitable for 5-11-year-olds.

If what officials were claiming was anything to go by, around 6 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine were due to arrive in Nepal “very soon”—by December-end or early January. But the shipment is not arriving now.
