Dr. Amjad Al-Khouli, an epidemiology consultant at the World Health Organization, said that vaccines are effective so far with all the mutations that have been recorded of the Corona virus, pointing out that the emergence of a new strain of the virus is possible.
He added during a telephone interview with the program “Happening in Egypt” presented by the journalist Sherif Amer on the channel “MBC Egypt” that rich countries still account for the large percentage of Corona vaccines.
He indicated that a first batch of Corona vaccines is expected to be provided to all countries of the world within the next 3 months.
And the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, announced that there are a number of countries that buy Corona vaccines beyond their need.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations Organization called for the necessity for states to currently commit to sharing excessive doses of Corona vaccines with them, pointing out that this matter will help protect health systems in the world from collapse.
Earlier, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed President Joe Biden’s decision to return the United States to the Paris climate agreement.
“I warmly welcome President Biden’s steps to re-join the Paris Agreement on climate change,” Guterres said in a statement.
Today, Thursday, US President Joe Biden signed a set of executive orders drawn up by his predecessor, President Donald Trump, including the return of the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization and the travel ban from some Muslim countries, which Trump approved at the beginning of his presidential term in 2017, and will stop funding Construction of the wall on the border with Mexico.
Biden was sworn in as President of the United States yesterday, placing his hand on the gospel that his family had passed down for more than a century before Supreme Court President John Roberts and pledged to “preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States.”
The presidency passed to Biden, 78, who became the oldest American president in history, during a mini-ceremony in Washington that did not witness the usual amount of pomp and festive atmosphere.
