On February 5th, local time, WHO held a routine press conference for new crown pneumonia. WHO Director-General Tan Desai said that more than three-quarters of new crown vaccination occurred in only 10 countries, and these countries accounted for almost global GDP. 60% of the population, and 2.5 billion people in nearly 130 countries have not yet received the new crown vaccine.
Tan Desai pointed out that when countries have vaccinated their health workers and the elderly with the new crown vaccine, the best way to protect the rest of the population is to share the vaccine with other countries so that other countries can do the same.
The longer it takes to vaccinate high-risk populations around the world, the more likely the new coronavirus will mutate and the vaccine will fail.
Tan Desai also called on vaccine manufacturers to expand their production scale and sell vaccines at cost so that poor countries can reduce their dependence on donations from rich countries.
