More than half a billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been used worldwide

More than half a billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been used worldwide so far, but progress has been very mixed, with the World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday calling on richer countries to donate vaccines to help poorer countries start vaccinating.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Gebreiesus has called for an immediate donation of 10 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine so that 20 countries can begin vaccinating their health workers and the elderly in the next two weeks.

Serbia, which has surpassed most European countries in terms of vaccination, thanks to the Chinese company’s Sinopharm vaccine, could do a little help in this area.

Serbia, with a population of seven million who have already injected more than two million doses of the vaccine, on Friday called on immigrants and citizens of neighboring countries to be vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine.

By Friday, more than 512.91 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine had been injected worldwide in 167 countries and dependent territories, including 133 million in the United States, 91 million in China, 56 million in India, according to Agence France Presse (AFP). and 32 million in the UK.
