The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Commonwealth of Nations issued a joint plea for vulnerable small states to get better access to Covid jabs to help revive their economies.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Commonwealth head Patricia Scotland met at the UN health agency's headquarters in Geneva to sign an agreement focused on ending the pandemic and combating vaccine inequity.
“The impact of the pandemic will be felt for decades, especially among the most vulnerable,” Tedros said. “The longer the pandemic drags on, the worse those impacts will be.”
