Many 172 countries are participating with the WHO-led COVAX plan designed to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, the World Health Organization said on Monday, but more funding is desperately needed and countries should now make binding commitments.
“Initially, when there will be limited distribution (of COVID-19 vaccines), it is important to offer the vaccine to those at highest risk around the planet,” the WHO’s director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press briefing.
