Pandemic/Vaccination – 99% of people in poor countries are still unvaccinated – here’s why we need to take action now (Maria De Jesus, The Conversation, WEF)

  • According to public health experts, 70% of the world’s 7.9 billion people must be fully vaccinated to end the pandemic.
  • On June 21, 2021, only 10.04% of the population had been fully vaccinated, with just 0.9% of people in low-income countries receiving one dose.
  • Half of all vaccines available by June 2021 were reserved by rich countries, who represent one seventh of the population, writes a health expert.
  • Leaders of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union and Japan have pledged to donate 1 billion vaccination doses to poorer countries.
  • Measures must be taken to ensure more equal vaccination access and to prevent the virus from spreading and mutating.
