Covid-19 vaccine booster shots: Here’s the list of vaccination centres in Kathmandu

Kathmandu, January 17

The government has begun administering booster shots against Covid-19 to frontline workers in the Kathmandu valley on Monday.

Although the federal government had announced to begin the campaign from Sunday itself, the vaccination drive has begun in most of the places including in the Kathmandu valley on Monday only as local officials did not have any plan about this until last month.
