, the US drug control agency, has granted
emergency authorization to the updated Pfizer and Moderna anti-Covid vaccine boosters
.
Meanwhile, the director general of the World Health Organization (
WHO
), Tedros Ghebreyesus, at a press conference, explained that the sub-variants of Omicron "are more transmissible and the risk of even more transmissible and more dangerous variants remains. Meanwhile,
the coverage remains.
vaccination among the people most at risk remains too low
, especially in low-income countries, "he said." But even in high-income countries, 30% of health workers and 20% of elderly people remain unvaccinated. These vaccination gaps represent a risk for all of us. So please get vaccinated if you are not and get a booster if advised. "
"We are now seeing a decline in reported Covid deaths globally. However, as cold weather approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, it is reasonable to expect an increase in hospitalizations and deaths over the next month," Ghebreyesus added.
