Kathmandu : Tedros, the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), has expressed concern over a video of a Mustang being vaccinated in a dangerously flooded river.

He praised the health workers for the vaccine against the corona virus in the world, and expressed concern by tweeting a quote.

In a tweet, he expressed concern that vaccines against corona could not be delivered to health workers in many places.

He says vaccinating health workers is not fair. “This video shows how health workers work to save lives. How justified is it that in many places such heroes are not vaccinated? ‘ Tedros said.

The story of the video shared by Dr. Tedros was published some Nepali media. The video shows health workers carrying vaccine boxes in the flooded river with the help of sticks.

In the Trans-Himalayan Mustang, citizens over the age of 55 were scheduled to be vaccinated with the second dose of coronavirus on June 15.
