Geneva: The World Health Organization Tuesday urged the 20 leaders who have the power to overthrow the ‘shameful “global imbalance in access to CVIV-19 vaccines to reverse the tide before October.
WHO Bruce Aylward said the world should be “disgusted” – and asked if the situation could have been more worse had been an active effort to prevent the poor from the planet from being vaccinated.
The United Nations Health Agency has been increasingly excited by what it considers the moral indignation of the rich countries in charge of vaccine vaccine supply while developing countries have the fight to immunize their most vulnerable populations.
Aylward, WHO Frontman to access tools to combat pandemic coronavirus, urged people to say to politicians and business people that it was elaborated electorally and financially to increase immunization coverage in the poorest nations.
“There are probably 20 people in the world who are crucial to solve this problem of equity,” he told an interaction on WHO social media.
“They run the big companies that are in charge; They lead countries that contracting most vaccines in the world and they run the countries that produce them.
“We need these 20 people to say,” We will solve this problem by the end of September. We will make sure that 10% of each country … is vaccinated “”.
Nearly 4.5 billion doses of vaccine were administered around the world, according to an AFP account.
In high-income countries, as ranked by the World Bank, 104 doses were injected for 100 people.
In the 29 low-income nations, two doses were administered to 100 people.
“We should be disgusted collectively with ourselves,” said Aylward.
“I can not help but think: If we tried to remember the vaccines of some parts of the world, would we have been worse than today?
Booster Spots Proof Difference
WHO wants each country to have vaccinated at least 10% of its population by the end of September; At least 40% by the end of this year and 70% in mid 2022.
Last week, WHO called for a moratorium on Covid-19 vaccine reminder strokes to tackle the drastic inequality of dose distribution – although several rich countries are moving forward.
WHO says there is no convincing image as to whether boosters are really necessary, given the level of protection offered by WHO vaccines.
“There is no scientific evidence that we need to have a third dose,” said Mariangela Simao, Executive Director of WHO for access to drugs, vaccines and pharmaceuticals.
On the theme of vaccine hesitation among health workers, SIMAO stated that it was “mainly a high-income country problem”.
“If you have access to a vaccine and you are a health worker and do not take it, there is something very wrong with your information or your system you work with,” she said .
