Globally, about 20 people could play a key role in addressing inequality in the field of COVID vaccination, the WHO said.
WHO is unhappy with the unequal distribution of coronavirus vaccines between countries. This was announced by a senior adviser to the WHO Director General Bruce Aylward on Wednesday, August 11.
Aylward said world leaders and pharmaceutical executives must take steps to end the “shameful” vaccine inequality.
“There are probably 20 people in the world who could play a key role in tackling inequality. These are the people who lead the big companies that do this (vaccines – ed.). These are the heads of state that contract for vaccines and they are also the people who lead the countries that produce vaccines, ”said Aylward.
“We need these 20 people to say:“ We will solve this problem by the end of September. We will make sure that 10% of the population of each country … will be vaccinated, “he added.
Recall that earlier the NAS was warned about an increase in the incidence of COVID-19… In two weeks, the average number of new cases of coronavirus has risen by 44% and will continue to increase.
Ministry of Health: 99% of cases were not vaccinated
