According to British media reports, on November 29 local time, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros, delivered a speech at the special meeting of the member states of the United Nations health agency.
He insisted that vaccine fairness is “not charity,” but in the “best interests of every country” because all countries are fighting the new crown pandemic.
Tan Desai said: “No country can get rid of the epidemic by (own) vaccination. The longer vaccine inequality exists, the more chance the virus will spread and evolve in ways that we cannot predict or prevent. We All together.”
He once again urged WHO member states to commit to vaccinating 40% of the world’s population by the end of 2021 and 70% of the population by mid-2022.
Tan Desai said that 103 countries have not yet achieved the first goal of vaccinating 40% of their citizens, and more than half of them may not be able to achieve it before the end of this year. Mainly because they cannot get the vaccine.
Tan Desai added: “In Africa, only one out of every four health jobs is vaccinated. This is unacceptable. Vaccines save lives, but they do not completely prevent infection or transmission. Suppressing transmission is still vital. .”
