Speaking at a virtual meeting hosted by the Health Journalist Forum on May 28, Foreign Affairs Minister exaggerated that the Nepali Government would have a breakthrough in COVID-19 vaccine procurement in the next 15 days.<\/p>\n
He claimed that the government had launched numerous initiatives with foreign countries to import vaccines and received some positive responses.<\/p>\n
Even President Bhandari had penned letters to superpower countries, including the USA, the UK, Russia, and India, to provide vaccines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, all the efforts are in vain as Nepal has not received anything except the confirmation of the receipt of the letters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe president\u2019s letters cannot push the purchase process forward; they are just a request,\u201d according to an official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. \u201cTherefore, you don\u2019t need to expect more. The government has to act for purchase.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In yet another attempt, PM Oli, in an interview with US media outlet CNBC, has pleaded the international community to assist Nepal by providing COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe coronavirus cases have fallen by 75%, and the government is working to control the contagion in other parts of the country,\u201d said PM Oli.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Though the cases have declined, immediate vaccination is imperative, he mentioned.<\/p>\n
He further informed that the Nepali Government is targeting to vaccinate all the citizens by the end of 2021 if adequate vaccines were available.<\/p>\n
