Don't vaccinate kids, give Covid-19 doses to Covax instead: WHO chief
- 'Bittersweet' -In the face of this inequity in access, Tedros warned that the world would likely see more deaths this year than last, despite the arrival of vaccines."We're on track for the second year of this pandemic to be far more deadly than the first," he said."Saving lives and livelihoods with a combination of public health measures and vaccination -- not one or the other -- is the only way out."The novel coronavirus has killed at least 3.3 million people since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP.Tedros, 56, meanwhile said that he had been vaccinated against Covid-19 earlier this week in Geneva, the Swiss city where the WHO is based."It was a bittersweet moment,".
