The WHO warns that only 28% of the elderly in poor countries have the anticovid vaccine | World

Only 28% of older people and 37% of health workers in low-income countries have received a full first course of the anticovid vaccine, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday, renewing its appeal to immunize these most vulnerable groups.

In addition, 27 countries in the world have not yet been able to start a booster vaccination program in the current pandemic, when medical studies estimate that vaccines saved almost 20 million lives in 2021, the WHO recalled in a statement.
