Oli said, โ€œWe got an early chance to administer the Covid-19 vaccine.

For this, I thank our neighbouring nation India, its government, the people, and especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

They sent 10 lakh doses of vaccines to us as a grant within a week of the roll-out in India.โ€ Meanwhile, China is yet to get clearance for its Sinopharm vaccine in Nepal.
