“The world is at a critical juncture. With the emergence of new, more transmissible variants globally ... every country is now at risk of returning to square one unless we redouble our efforts to supress #Covid19 everywhere”, says @JeremyFarrar in new statement.
@JeremyFarrar “Vaccine nationalism doesn’t serve anyone. At the moment, vaccines are in short supply. But the new variants are an urgent warning of what is coming… .
It is in the national interest of all countries to bring infections down globally as much as possible."

@JeremyFarrar “Vaccinating a lot of people in a few countries, leaving the virus unchecked in large parts of the world, will lead to more variants .... The more that arise, the higher the risk of the virus evolving to an extent where our vaccines, treatments and tests are no longer effective."
@JeremyFarrar "We have a choice. With limited global supply of vaccines in 2021, distributing all doses as strategically as possible is a scientific and economic imperative. All doses should be donated to COVAX” and most vulnerable everywhere protected first.
