The World Health Organization said on Monday that when other countries have not yet received the Covid-19 vaccine, countries should not order booster shots for their vaccinated people.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the death toll to rise again, the Delta variant is taking the lead, and many countries have not received enough vaccine doses to protect their health workers.
Tan Desai said: “Delta variants are spreading around the world at a hot rate, leading to a surge in Covid-19 cases and deaths.” He pointed out that this highly infectious variant originally found in India is now in 104 countries/ The area was discovered.
Tan Desai said: “The global gap in the supply of Covid-19 vaccines is very uneven and unfair. Some countries and regions are actually ordering millions of boosters, while other countries have not yet provided them for health workers and the most vulnerable groups. Provide vaccination.
He listed vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna as companies aiming to provide booster shots in countries where vaccination levels are already high. Tan Desai said that they should vaccinate Covax, which is a vaccine sharing program mainly for middle-income and poorer countries.
