THE world’s poorest and most vulnerable nations must not be “trampled in the stampede” for Covid-19 vaccines, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned.
WHO director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that successful vaccines must be distributed equitability and called for $4.3 billion (£3.2bn) in funding for a sharing scheme.
The Covax scheme aims to deliver two billion doses to more than 90 low-income countries by the end of 2021, but is currently struggling to raise the funds.
