Nepal on Monday received over 1.5 million doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine from the US at the time when the country is facing a severe shortage of the jabs.
This is the first consignment of the single-shot vaccine Nepal has received. The US provided 1,534,850 doses to Nepal through the COVAX scheme, the global COVID vaccine equity scheme.
US Ambassador Randy Berry handed over the vaccines to Health Minister Krishna Gopal Shrestha on Monday.
“Today we”re giving Nepal enough #JNJ COVID19 vaccines via #COVAX to fully vaccinate 1.5 million people,” Berry wrote on Twitter after handing over the vaccine to Nepal.
