KATHMANDU, SEPTEMBER 4

District Health Office, Kathmandu is going to resume booster dose campaign against COVID-19 from September 11.

Information Officer at the Office Anjana Khadka shared that the campaign had resumed in consideration of the fact that many people had missed the booster dose against coronavirus infection.

The campaign will run through September 16. Those above 12 years of age who missed the vaccination will get the first and second doses of the vaccine besides the first and second booster doses.

Tulasi Subedi, focal personnel of the Office, shared that the campaign was taken forward again since there was a very negligible number of people availing second dose of the vaccine. The public health office in Kathmandu has urged all to reach out to the nearest primary healthcare centres, health facilities, community schools and municipal hospitals, among other places to get vaccinated.

Earlier, vaccination against COVID-19 was held in Bir Hospital, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Armed Police Force's Hospital and Nepal Police's Hospital, among other places.

At present, the number of new cases of COVID-19 and the infection rate has notably come down.
