These have been distributed in over 212 countries. If we talk about two billion vaccines, then only 10 countries have received more than 75 percent of these doses. Even 60 percent of the vaccines have been received by three countries China, America and India. Which he bought and used domestically.
New Delhi: So far, out of the two billion anti-coronavirus vaccines distributed worldwide, about 60 percent of the vaccines have been received by just three countries, China, America and India. This is said by Bruce Eliward, Senior Adviser to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
WHO on Corona Vaccine:
In a press conference on Friday, he told that this week we will get more than two billion vaccines. We will cross the two billion vaccine mark in terms of number of vaccines and new anti-Covid-19 vaccines.
These have been distributed in over 212 countries. If we talk about two billion vaccines, then only 10 countries have received more than 75 percent of these doses. Even 60 percent of the vaccines have been received by three countries China, America and India. Which he bought and used domestically.
Bruce Eliward said that covacs has been instrumental in distributing vaccines to 127 countries and launching vaccination campaigns in many countries. The biggest challenge is maintaining the supply of vaccines. Only 0.5 percent of vaccines went to low-income countries that make up 10 percent of the world's population. Vaccination is being emphasized in wealthy countries, here they have started giving vaccines to teenagers as well as those most at risk from corona.
As a result, shortages in the supply of vaccines are making it difficult for citizens in low-income countries to vaccinate other than health workers. The problems in India and other countries are causing obstacles and it is becoming increasingly difficult to fill the gap. We expect Serum Institute of India (SII) to resume supply of vaccines at least in the fourth quarter. SII, the world's largest vaccine maker, is a key supplier of AstraZeneca vaccines to covax. The supply of vaccines to covacx has been interrupted due to the second wave of the corona pandemic in India.
