WHO: COVID-19 Vaccination Inequities Becoming Apparent

VOA News

   The World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday that 75% of all
   COVID-19 vaccinations worldwide have been given in just 10 countries,
   while nearly 130 nations have not given a single vaccination.

   At the agency's regular briefing in Geneva, WHO Director-General Tedros
   Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters that, globally, the number of
   vaccinations has now overtaken the number of reported COVID-19
   infections.

   He said that is basically good news and a remarkable achievement in
   such a short timeframe. But there are almost 130 countries with 2.5
   billion people, that have not delivered a single dose of vaccine.
