Rabies Vaccine Shortage in Nepal Amidst High Demand

Kathmandu. Rabies vaccine (vaccine) is not being supplied across the country as per demand. Due to high demand and low vaccine supply, a vaccine shortage has occurred for the past few days.

Dr. Navin Mahaseth, chief of the District Hospital Dhading, said that he was forced to procure vaccines from the institution as the government did not provide vaccines as per demand. He said, 'There is a shortage of vaccines. As the demand is high, we have to buy vaccines from the institution.'
