Pandemic, Vaccine and Dolpo

My 75 yrs young aaki (father) will get his vaccine tomorrow in Nepal. Had plans to bring him here but glad we changed our plan. Let's hope that there won't be any side effects. Especially thanks to my 2 sisters who have always taken the best care of his health.

Regarding my Indigenous community, some elders got the vaccine in the capital city and some will take the shot in the Dolpa district during their return to Dolpo. Though won't rule out that hesitancy and fear, the latter group is more concerned about the 2nd shot.

The plan of central and provincial gov isn't clear. How the district hospital would respond to such ambiguity, no one knows. Thanks anyways to our community, everyone is kind of safe without any reports of death.

On the other hand, there are still many elders in the community who know less about the vaccine. I'm unaware of the gov plan (if exists) to vaccinate that group of elders by taking the vaccine to the community. The district hospital is at-least 3-4 days walking distance far from the community. The history of internal colonization, structural violence, and spatial oppression reappears but in a different form.
