GENEVA - The World Health Organization is providing risk management advice to the International Olympic Committee and Japanese authorities regarding the holding of the Tokyo Olympics, but the top priority is vaccinating health workers worldwide against Covid-19, its top emergency expert said on Monday.
Mike Ryan, asked whether athletes should be vaccinated as a priority, told a WHO news briefing:"We have to face the realities of what we face now. There is not enough vaccine right now to even serve those who are most at risk. The Games is scheduled to open on July 23, after being postponed for a year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
