No country can boost its way out of pandemic: WHO chief targets rich countries over vaccine rush

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus insisted that the priority must remain to make Covid-19 vaccines accessible to the vulnerable populations across the world rather than giving additional doses to the already vaccinated.

World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Wednesday decried the glaring inequity in access to Covid-19 vaccines, highlighting the rush in wealthy countries to roll out booster shots of vaccine.

"No country can boost its way out of the pandemic," news agency AFP quoted the WHO chief as saying.
