WHO-‘Scandalous inequity’ among vaccines needs to end

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared on Monday that the inequity in the global coronavirus vaccine distribution needed to end.
Tedros affirmed that when it comes to the pandemic “globally we remain in a fragile situation,” reemphasising that the pandemic wasn’t over and that it wouldn’t be “until and unless the transmission is controlled in every last country.” Additionally, he called on nations to donate more to the COVAX program, stating that 75% of all coronavirus vaccines have only been administered in 10 countries, as he condemned the number stating that the “ongoing vaccine crisis is a scandalous inequity that is perpetuating the pandemic.”
