WHO: Stop Covid-19 booster shots

The Director-General of World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that it is calling for a moratorium on Covid-19 vaccine boosters until at least the end of September.
Tedros said that the move was to enable that at least 10% of the population of every country was vaccinated.
The call to stop Covid-19 vaccine boosters is the strongest yet from the UN agency as the gap between inoculation rates in wealthy and poor countries widens.
“I understand the concern of all governments to protect their people from the Delta variant. But we cannot accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it,” Tedros added.
“We need an urgent reversal, from the majority of vaccines going to high-income countries, to the majority going to low-income countries,” said Tedros.
