ZURICH: Countries should join the World Health Organization's COVAX vaccine facility by a Friday deadline to help ensure that immunisations are fairly and efficiently distributed, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday.
So far, 92 lower-income nations are seeking assistance via the COVAX facility, part of the WHO's ACT Accelerator to boost development of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics to combat the pandemic. Some 80 higher-income nations have expressed interest, but many must still confirm their intention to join by the end of this week.
