As COVID-19 infections and deaths continue to decrease in the Americas, the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) says the inequity of vaccine access proves that vaccinations are working.
During PAHO’s weekly COVID-19 briefing yesterday, director Dr Carissa Etienne said last week’s data had showed that infection rates were decreasing in countries with higher vaccine coverage, while increasing in countries that had barely vaccinated their populations.
With reports that some countries have vaccines close to expiry, Etienne appealed to them to donate to countries in the region. She said unless all countries are protected, the world will not be safe against COVID-19.
