VOA News

   The World Health Organization's (WHO) European office announced
   Thursday it will partner with the European Union to deploy COVID-19
   vaccines in six eastern European nations.

   Speaking at his headquarters in Copenhagan, WHO Europe Director Hans
   Kluge said the nearly $50 million program will target Armenia,
   Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.

   Kluge said the program is intended to ensure equitable access to
   vaccines throughout Europe. "Vaccines offer a way to emerge faster from
   this pandemic, but only if we ensure that all countries, irrespective
   of income level, have access to them," he said.
