"Vaccine equity is the challenge of our time. And we are failing. Over 82% of vaccine doses have gone to rich countries, while low income countries have just received 0.2%. In rich countries 1 in 4 have been vaccinated vs 1 in 500 in LICs,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
He made this statement at the ECOSOC session.
The session was devoted to the issue of the vaccines’ availability.
