The head of the WHO declared the need for equal access of all countries to vaccines

“The longer the principle of equitable access to vaccines is violated, the higher the risk that the virus will continue to transform,” Gebreyesus wrote in an article for the Izvestia newspaper.

The creation of excessive stocks of vaccines in some countries violated the principle of fairness, he said.

“By ending injustice, we can end the pandemic,” he added.

Earlier it became known that the number of recorded cases of coronavirus infection in the world increased to 278,971,239.
