No country of the world will be able to defeat the coronavirus pandemic, focusing on vaccination exclusively its citizens. The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adan Greesusus called for States to deal with unequal access to vaccines, the broadcast of its performance is available on the WHO Youtube channel.
According to Greesus, the longer this inequality exists, the more opportunities there is a virus to spread and evolve on the path that cannot be predicted and prevented. “We warned that the poorest and vulnerable countries will be flooded in worldwide pressure per vaccine. This happened. Bole 80 percent vaccines fall on 20 countries,” he said.
The head of WHO noted that while in some countries vaccinated people with the minimum risk of serious development of the disease and revaluate completely healthy people, in Africa will be vaccinated only 1 of the 4th health officers. “This is unacceptable. We cannot put an end of a pandemic until we decide the crisis with vaccines. Equal access to drugs around the world is not charity, but the most important interest for each country,” says Gebresus.
