WHO chief warns against coronavirus vaccine nationalism
COVID-19 vaccine nationalism is harmful for all,
World Health Organization Director-General Tedros
Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday, and said weak
cooperation between nations is a major barrier to
achieving worldwide vaccination at the scale
needed to end the coronavirus pandemic.

"Despite the growing number of vaccine options,
current manufacturing capacity meets only a
fraction of global need," the WHO director-general
said in a piece published in Foreign Policy
magazine.

"Allowing the majority of the world's population
to go unvaccinated will not only perpetuate
needless illness and deaths and the pain of
ongoing lockdowns, but also spawn new virus
mutations as COVID-19 continues to spread among
unprotected populations," he wrote
