Kathmandu: In its continuous support to help Nepal fight the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States on Monday donated 1.53 million doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccines. The United States donated vaccines are being delivered to the Nepali people in partnership with the COVAX global vaccine initiative and UNICEF. "These vaccines will not only save lives and help Nepal emerge from this pandemic, but they will also help to recover economic losses and regain the opportunity to safely visit with our friends, families, and neighbors," said the United States Ambassador Randy Berry. Berry said it is a gift and no cost from the American people. "We won’t trade shots in arms for political favors. This is about saving lives."More Related News
