.@DrTedros : We have the means to avert this failure, but it’s shocking how little has been done to avert it. The gap between the number of vaccines administered in rich countries & the number of vaccines administered through #COVAX is growing & becoming more grotesque every day.
.@DrTedros : Countries that are now vaccinating younger, healthy people at low risk of #COVID19 disease are doing so at the cost of the lives of #healthworkers, older people and other at-risk groups in other countries. | via @WHO
