Geneva: Top officials at the World Health Organization said Thursday (November 4) that Europe has seen a more than 50% jump in coronavirus cases in the last month, making it the epicenter of the pandemic despite an ample supply of vaccines.
There may be plenty of vaccines available, but uptake of vaccines has not been equal, WHO emergencies chief Dr. Michael Ryan said during a press briefing on Thursday (November 4).
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 the first dose.
