The World Health Organization warns that as long as there are millions of people in the world without being vaccinated, the pandemic will not end, and that is why it calls on rich countries to distribute vaccines before starting to inoculate booster doses.
The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has criticized the countries that are proceeding to administer a fourth dose of vaccine against covid-19 and has called for “ending the inequality of last year.” Israel Y France are some of the countries that have announced that they will begin the campaign to inoculate the fourth dose.
“At the current rate, 109 countries in the world will not be able to meet the goal of having 70% of their population vaccinated by mid-2022. The essence of the disparity is that some countries are proceeding with a fourth vaccination, while others have not even been able to vaccinate their health workers“, has denounced Tedros, to add that” we must settle the inequalities of last year. “
“Reinforcement after reinforcement, these few countries will not end the pandemic, while there are millions of unimmunized people in the rest of the world “, recalled the WHO director general.
“We must find another way to proceed in the short term, sharing the vaccines that are produced, although this was not the case in 2021,” he lamented.
On the occasion of the new year, Tedros has called on world leaders to “start over” and commit to the campaign of vaccinate 70% of the world’s population by July 2022.
