Unequal vaccine distribution: A boost for new COVID variants? | COVID-19 Special

The global disparity in vaccinations has left billions of people in poorer countries vulnerable to COVID-19. Innoculating only half the world also increases the risk of a new variant arising, that could resist the vaccines. That would endanger people in developed countries too - no matter how many times they'd been vaccinated.The World Health Organization is sounding the alarm.The WHO's Covax initiative has seen more than 300-million doses shipped to more than 140 countries, far less than what's needed. As the global death toll from COVID climbs health experts are urging more people to get the jab. Not just for your own good, but for those more vulnerable or who don't yet have access. The longer this takes, the more people will die.
