WHO urges UK to aid fair vaccine distribution

The World Health Organization (WHO) appealed to the United Kingdom on Saturday to help secure a fair distribution of the coronavirus vaccine across the globe. WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris called on the UK “all nations in those circumstances” to pause the vaccine rollout once high-risk population groups have been inoculated, instead of proceeding to vaccinate all citizens.

“While that is morally clearly the right thing to do, it’s also economically the right thing to do. There have been a number of very interesting analyses showing that just vaccinating your own country and then sitting there and saying ‘we’re fine’ will not work economically,” Harris said.
