The World Health Organization

(WHO)

does not expect the vaccinations to be sufficient to stop the virus from spreading in the foreseeable future.

It will be difficult for the world to eradicate the virus, said Mike Ryan, head of the WHO emergency program.

Right now there isn't even enough vaccine to vaccinate the most vulnerable people, he said.

leveled off

at an average of

3,100

per day.
