Nepal buying jabs for kids despite sub-par results

The government is preparing to purchase 8.4 million doses of Pfizer, the only vaccine approved by WHO for children aged 5 to 11 years.

Nepal has yet to vaccinate children aged between five and eleven years against Covid-19. As the pandemic risk is not completely over, the government is planning to procure 8.4 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to inoculate the children in this age group. But if some reports are anything to go by, there could be a setback.
