The World Health Organization has called for enhanced global collaboration to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines for all countries and high-income countries should provide financial support to help global efforts against the raging pandemic.
Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed the vital role of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, a new global collaboration to accelerate the development, production and equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, in fighting against the pandemic. "Depending on where you live, it might feel like the Covid-19 pandemic is almost over – or it might feel like it's at its worst.
But wherever you live, Covid isn't finished with us. "Diseases know no borders, and as we all know from Omicron, any feeling of safety can change in a moment.
We know this virus will continue to evolve," Mr Tedros said. "But we are not defenceless. We have the tools to prevent this disease, to test for it, and to treat it.
