Fox News
The World Health Organization's director-general warned on Monday that the coronavirus pandemic “is a long way far from over” as he appealed for more funding for the agency’s response plan.
"COVAX works and has so far delivered 65 million doses to 124 countries and economies, but it is dependent on countries and manufacturers honoring their commitment," he said during a press briefing. "While we appreciate the work of AstraZeneca, who have been steadily increasing the speed and volume of their deliveries, we need other manufacturers to follow suit. He said that while Pfizer and Moderna have pledged millions of doses to COVAX, the majority will not arrive until the second half of 2021, or 2022, and there is an immediate need for supply.More Related News
