GENEVA (Reuters) – The head of the World Health Organization said on Friday there is a “clear problem” that low and middle income countries are not yet receiving supplies of COVID-19 vaccines.
“Rich countries have the majority of the supply,” WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a news briefing in Geneva, adding that he urged countries and manufacturers to stop making bilateral deals at the expense of the COVAX vaccine-sharing facility.
