Measles vaccination drive from mid-June

REPUBLICA ONLINE
KATHMANDU, May 18: The Child Health Division (CHD) under Department of Health Services (DoHS) said that it is all prepared to administer measles-rubella (MR) vaccine from mid-June as part of its routine immunization campaign. The office said that instead of the standard measles vaccine, children aged between nine months and two years would be given the MR vaccine.

Earlier, the office had planned to start the vaccination drive from February.  Dr Taranath Pokhrel, director at CHD, said that the postponement of the schedule will not affect the health of children as the vaccine can be administered to children up to two years old. [More]

  10 QS Becoming Uma and after  
  BY THE WEEK BUREAU  
 
Actor Reecha Sharma is going places. She has just come back from Paris after attending the acting classes of renowned world acting coach Jack Waltzer. After successful releases like Highway and Visa Girl, Reecha is anxiously waiting for the release of yet another class act called Uma, a film directed by well-known documentary maker Tsering Rhitar Sherpa which is being released on May 24.

How did Reecha Sharma become Uma?

Just before the release of Highway, I heard that Tsering was looking for an actor for Uma. He’s in my directors’ wish list and I’ve always wanted to work with him. However, he wasn’t convinced that I would be suitable. But he changed his mind after a private screening of Highway.
