Antonio Guterres told the UN Security Council that 130 countries had not received a single dose of vaccine.

UN SECRETARY-GENERAL Antonio Guterres has criticised the “wildly uneven and unfair” distribution of Covid-19 vaccines globally.

Guterres called for an urgent Global Vaccination Plan to bring together those with the power to ensure fair vaccine distribution – scientists, vaccine producers and those who could fund the effort. Guterres said Friday’s meeting of the Group of Seven major industrialised nations “can create the momentum to mobilise the necessary financial resources”.

Thirteen ministers were scheduled to address the meeting on improving access to Covid-19 vaccines including US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Woodward said ceasefires had been used to carry out vaccinations, pointing to a two-day pause in fighting in Afghanistan in 2001 that enabled 35,000 health workers and volunteers to vaccinate 5.7 million children under the age of five against polio.
