The WHO's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunisation also insisted that international travellers should not be prioritised for any COVID-19 jabs for the time being.During a meeting last week, the experts had discussed the Moderna vaccine, which, like the Pfizer-BioNTech one, uses mRNA technology and is being rolled out in a number of countries.
But earlier this month, it said that in "exceptional circumstances" it was possible to wait for up to 42 days to administer the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and on Tuesday, it said the same for the Moderna jabs. SAGE also recommended Tuesday that the Moderna vaccine, like the Pfizer-BioNTech one, only be administered in settings that can deal with a potential anaphylactic reaction.
The WHO is calling for health care workers and the most vulnerable 20 percent of people in every country to receive COVID-19 jabs before broadening immunisation programmes to other populations.
WHO eh. Let's follow them blindly like our top doctor did.
