Mexico City, Feb 18 (EFE).- Mexico has positioned itself as one of the countries exerting the most pressure on the United Nations to guarantee universal access to anti-Covid-19 vaccines, denouncing vaccine hoarding and/or monopolization by the richest nations and creating links with other Latin American nations like Argentina.(CAMERA: Cristina Sánchez)JUAN RAMON DE LA FUENTE, REPRESENTATIVE OF MEXICO TO THE UN."What Foreign Minister Ebrad said to the security council on behalf of Mexico, with the support of the community of Latin America and the Caribbean, was that the COVAX mechanism was insufficient.According to UN data, of the first 130 million vaccines administered three quarters were used in only 10 countries. The need to review and accelerate the mechanisms was discussed, those countries are entitled to advance in their vaccination program but other countries should be advance as well because if not, the strategy will not work."
Which county has administered the most coronavirus vaccine injections? More than 40 countries around the world have begun the vaccination process. According to Business Insider, rich and middle-income countries have secured almost all the available vaccine supply. According to data, the U.S. had administered roughly 1.94 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. Following behind the U.S. is China, which has administered at least 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. Across the world, there have been more than 4.3 million COVID-19 vaccine doses given.
14 (UPI) -- The incoming Biden administration's plan to release more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine won't cause supply shortages, Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of the newly created COVID-19 advisory board said Thursday. Two COVID-19 vaccines, made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, have been approved for use in the United States, and both require two doses for maximum effectiveness. Through Thursday, nearly 30 million doses of the two vaccines had been distributed across the country, but fewer than 11 million have been administered, based on estimates from the U.S.
WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urges rich countries to stop jumping the queue and making bilateral deals for the first wave of Covid-19 vaccines. SOUNDBITE
