As countries begin rolling out vaccines in the coming weeks and months, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged them to prioritize those who need them most.

“These are not easy decisions,” he said, explaining the guidelines of the World Health Organization.

Agence France-Presse: Tedros said health workers at risk of infection are a top priority, as well as people most at risk of serious illness or death due to their age – thus relieving pressure on health systems.

He said that they should be followed at a later time by people at risk of serious illnesses due to underlying conditions, and marginalized groups at greater risk.

The WHO’s ACT-Accelerator Mechanism, which brings together risks and rewards between rich and poor countries, is a global effort to accelerate the development, purchase, and even distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, tests and treatments regardless of wealth.

However, the scheme urgently needs $ 4.3 billion, with another $ 23.9 billion needed in 2021.

“What we need now globally is not to enter the land of empty promises in terms of supporting the ACT-Accelerator,” Ryan said, urging wealthy donors to hold back.

The means to make this allocation fairly and fair are in place. But what is missing is the funding to make it happen in 2021.

“There is a huge gap between rhetoric and reality.”

The World Health Organization said, on Monday, that convincing people of the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine would be much more effective than trying to make the punches mandatory, AFP reported.

The World Health Organization said it is up to individual countries how to conduct vaccination campaigns against the coronavirus pandemic.

But the United Nations Health Agency has insisted that vaccination against the disease be mandatory will be the wrong path to follow, adding that there are examples in the past of imposing the use of vaccines only to be counterproductive with greater opposition to them.

“I don’t think mandates are the direction in which we should go here, especially with regard to these vaccines,” said Kate O’Brien, director of the World Health Organization’s immunization division, at a virtual press conference.

“It is a much better position to encourage and facilitate vaccination without these types of requirements.

“I don’t think we envision any country creating a mandate for vaccination.”

O’Brien said there may be some careers in the hospital where vaccination may be required or strongly recommended for staff and patient safety.

But WHO experts acknowledge that there is a battle to be fought to convince the general public to take vaccines as soon as they become available.
