Countries should not be ordering booster shots for their vaccinated populations when other countries have not yet received COVID-19 vaccines, the World Health Organization said.Dr Tedros urged Pfizer and Moderna to send more of their vaccines to COVAX, the UN vaccine program for low and middle-income countries
"The Delta variant is ripping around the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in COVID-19 cases and death," Tedros said. He singled out vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna as companies that were aiming to provide booster shots in countries where there were already high levels of vaccination. Dr Tedros said the massive disparity in vaccines between rich and poor countries means that "we are making conscious choices right now not to protect those in need".Dr Tedros called on Pfizer and Moderna to "go all out to supply COVAX, the Africa Vaccine Acquisition Task Team and low and middle income countries with very little coverage".
If only the WHO were onto it at the beginning rather than the big 'play it down' we wouldn't be here today.
So irritating this organisation said there was no pandemic Nov 2019 while we all watched China frantically build their Covid mega hospitals - talk about the kettle calling the pot black 😡
Quicker than most countries internet, alot quicker then just about every country's political responsibilities
Has this guy just noticed on behalf of China
Rich countries hoarding vaccines while Australian politicians squeal about why we don't have more! 126th on the COVID-19 chart! Australia is a rich country right!
So this is the Delta variant. What can we expect from the next variant? Covid-19 is turning into a real cat and mouse scenario here!
And so it continues..
