Geneva - Sana
The World Health Organization has urged Britain to abandon its plans to conduct mass vaccination of its population at the current stage and to content itself with immunizing the groups most at risk of contracting the Coronavirus.
WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said in statements to the "BBC" today, "We tell the British population that you can wait, because we believe that countries, after they vaccinate health workers and people most at risk of infection with corona, ensure that others have access to the drug." "Adopting this principle would be a right step both morally and economically."
The organization’s spokeswoman added that “many studies have recently been published proving that it is not economically feasible for a country to vaccinate its population only so that everything is fine,” warning of the mistake of focusing on unilateral efforts in the field of fighting the Corona virus, saying, “We all live on one planet. And interconnected with each other. "
The Secretary-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, recently considered that "national fanaticism in the field of vaccines" could cost the global economy about $ 9.2 trillion, and that the economies of rich countries may incur about $ 4.5 trillion from those losses. He called for greater fairness in distributing anti-virus vaccines among the countries of the world.
