WHO tells rich countries to stop queue jumping on coronavirus vaccine
The head of the WHO says there is a “clear problem” that low- and middle-income countries are not yet receiving supplies of COVID-19 vaccines and urged nations to stop striking bilateral deals with manufacturers.
“Rich countries have the majority of the supply,” WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in strongly-worded comments on vaccine nationalism at a Geneva news briefing on Friday.
