Covid-19 Vakzine belichtet wirtschaftliche Ungleichheit
January 26, 2021 -
Von den zirka 50 Staaten, die mit Impfung der Coronavirus Vakzine angefangen haben, gehören alle zu den Nationen mit hohen bis mittleren Einkommensgruppen. Die große Zahl der armen Länder müssen erst noch mit Impfkampagnen beginnen.
Several coronavirus vaccines have been approved for use, either by individual countries or groups of countries, such as the European Union and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Some countries have secured more vaccine doses than their populations need, while other lower-income countries are relying on the global vaccine plan known as Covax, which is seeking equitable distribution, the BBC said.
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said that the prospects for an equitable distribution of vaccines were at “serious risk”. He added: “The world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure.”
