Nepal will obtain enough vaccines to immunise all adults against Covid-19 by mid-April and is focusing on getting doses into remote mountainous areas of the Himalayan nation, AP quotes the health minister as saying.

The government will hire workers and set up vaccination centers to meet the target, Health Minister Birod Khatiwada told AP in an interview.

"We are going to meet our target or even exceed our goal because we are already getting enough vaccines," said Khatiwada, who was appointed last month. "We are going to hire more health workers so they are able to reach all remote corners of the country and set up new vaccine centers to reach all the population."
