WHO, countries have continued to administer additional doses for their vaccinated population despite repeated calls for a moratorium on boosters until the end of the year to free up jabs for poorer nations. "It is not just about how many people are vaccinated.
It is about who is vaccinated," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. Tedros said that it made no sense to give a booster to healthy adults or vaccinate children when senior citizens, medical personnel, and other high-risk group were waiting for their first dose. "It makes no sense to give boosters to healthy adults, or to vaccinate children, when health workers, older people, and other high-risk groups around the world are still waiting for their first dose," he said.
