8.39 The UN warns that the inequity of vaccines causes a "dangerous divergence" in survival rates
Several United Nations agencies have warned that the inequity of
vaccines
causes a "dangerous divergence" in survival rates against
Covid-19
and have lamented that less than 2% of adults are fully vaccinated in most countries of low-income, compared to 50% of high-income countries.
The heads of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) have met this Friday with the leaders of the African Fund for the Acquisition of Vaccines (AVAT) , Africa CDC, Gavi and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to address this issue within the framework of the multilateral working group on expanding Covid-19 tools.
Thus, the leaders of the UN agencies have pointed out, in a statement, that low-income countries, most of which are in Africa, "simply cannot access enough vaccines to meet even the global objectives of 10 percent coverage in all countries by September and 40 percent by the end of 2021, much less the African Union (AU) target of 70% in 2022. "
In this sense, they have warned of the "dangerous divergence" in the survival rates of Covid-19 and in the global economy, which they have described as an "unacceptable situation".
