WHO: Unequal distribution of the vaccine is destroying the world economy

Unequal distribution of coronavirus vaccines has a devastating impact on the economy worldwide, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, stated at a video conference in Abu Dhabi today.

"The gap between rich countries and the number of vaccinations carried out through COVAX is growing. The unequal distribution of the coronavirus vaccine goes against morality and has a devastating effect on the economy. As long as the virus is circulating, people will continue to die. There will be delays in trade and travel. The recovery of the economy will be delayed," he said.

The head of WHO said 36 countries had not yet received a single dose of the vaccine. Sixteen of them will receive the first doses, via COVAX, in the next two weeks.
