The government has been facing difficulties in achieving its goal to administer the Covid-19 vaccine to all the people.

Though the government had planned to vaccinate all the citizens by March this year, it has been able to administer both doses of vaccine to only 42.7 percent people.

Instead of giving continuation to the regular vaccination drive, the government has launched a booster dose campaign.

So far, 129.66 million people across the country have received both doses of vaccine against Covid-19.

The Ministry of Health and Population said that only 42.7 percent of the total population of 30,376,055 have been fully vaccinated.

The Ministry said that 16,289,425 people have taken their first dose of the vaccine.

Similarly, the government has administered booster doses to 168,939 people. Nepal has so far received 40,388,840 doses of vaccine from various companies. Of them, the government has already used 29,424,756 doses of vaccine.
