యూరోప్ లో 50 శాతం పెరిగిన కరోనా కేసులు || Europe Reports 50 Percent Rise In Covid Cases In A Month
With 50% jump in Covid-19 cases, Europe back at epicentre of pandemic: WHO
"There may be plenty of vaccine available, but uptake of vaccine has not been equal," WHO emergencies chief Dr. Michael Ryan said during a press briefing on Thursday.
He called for European authorities to "close the gap" in vaccinations. However, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said countries that have immunized more than 40 per cent of their populations should stop and instead donate their doses to developing countries that have yet to offer their citizens a first dose.
"No more boosters should be administered except to immuno-compromised people," Tedros said.
More than 60 countries have started giving booster doses to combat waning immunity before winter, when another Covid-19 wave is expected. In the United States, children ages 5 to 11 started getting Covid-19 shots this week after authorities decided the benefits outweighed the risks.
