"With the latest positive news from vaccine trials, the light at the end of this long, dark tunnel is growing brighter.

There is now real hope that vaccines – in combination with other tried and tested public health measures – will help to end the #COVID19 pandemic"-@DrTedros
"The significance of this scientific achievement cannot be overstated.
No vaccines in history have been developed as rapidly as these. The scientific community has set a new standard for vaccine development"-@DrTedros #COVID19 #ACTogether

🆕WHO has made a conditional recommendation against the use of remdesivir in hospitalized #COVID19 patients, as there is currently no evidence that remdesivir improves survival or reduces need for ventilation in these patients.

👉bit.ly/3lROk1c
A conditional recommendation is issued when the evidence around the benefits and risks of an intervention is less certain. In this case, there is a conditional recommendation against the use of remdesivir for #COVID19 at present.

👉bit.ly/3lROk1c
This does not rule out an intervention’s benefit, instead, it means that there isn’t enough evidence to support the use of remdesivir for #COVID19.
