WHO calls for moratorium on COVID vaccine booster jabs

The global surge in cases, driven partly by the Delta variant, is highlighting the gap in vaccination rates between wealthy countries and the developing world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is calling for a moratorium on COVID-19 vaccine boosters until at least the end of September to enable 10 percent of the population of every country in the world to be vaccinated.
The African continent is particularly at risk, with only 1.8 percent of people fully vaccinated, according to Our World in Data.
The Biden administration has already rejected the WHO's call, saying that the United States can ensure booster shots are available to Americans while increasing supply for other nations.
