新冠變異病毒德爾塔毒株在全球蔓延

US COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant may double to 200,000 a day in the fall, said Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on Wednesday.
8月4日，美國國家過敏和傳染病研究所院長福奇表示，今年秋季，德爾塔毒株在美國引發的新冠肺炎病例可能會暴增到每天20萬例。

"What we're seeing, because of this increase in transmissibility, and because we have about 93 million people in this country who are eligible to get vaccinated who don't get vaccinated - that you have a significant pool of vulnerable people," said Fauci.
福奇說：“我們現在的情況是，因為這個毒株的傳染性更強，而且我們有9300萬符合疫苗接種條件卻沒有打疫苗的人，導致有很大的一個易感染群體。”

Countries in Southeast Asia are also reporting rising cases. With just 8% of the world's population, the region is reporting almost 15% of all global cases each day.
東南亞國家報告的病例數也在不斷增加。該地區人口占全球人口總數僅8%，但是每天報告的病例數卻在全球病例總數中占比近15%。

世衛組織呼吁暫緩接種加強針 將疫苗提供給低收入國家

The World Health Organization is calling for a halt on COVID-19 vaccine boosters until at least the end of September, its head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday, as the gap between vaccinations in wealthy and poor countries widens.
隨著貧富國家之間的疫苗接種鴻溝不斷擴大，世衛組織總干事譚德賽呼吁將新冠疫苗加強針的接種暫緩至9月底以后。

High-income countries administered around 50 doses for every 100 people in May, and that number has since doubled, according to WHO. Low-income countries have only been able to administer 1.5 doses for every 100 people, due to lack of supply.
世衛組織表示，今年5月，高收入國家每100人約接種了50劑，后來這個數字又增加了一倍；而低收入國家由于疫苗供應短缺，每100人僅接種了1.5劑。

"We need an urgent reversal from the majority of vaccines going to high-income countries to the majority going to low-income countries," Tedros said.
譚德賽表示：“我們需要將多數疫苗流向高收入國家的形勢緊急扭轉為多數疫苗流向低收入國家。”

中國新冠疫苗接種超17億劑次 積極推動新冠疫苗可及性和可負擔性

The Chinese mainland has administered more than 1.7 billion doses of novel coronavirus vaccines as of Tuesday, according to the National Health Commission.
國家衛健委表示，截至8月3日，中國大陸新冠疫苗接種劑次已超17億。

China is working relentlessly to make COVID-19 vaccines an accessible and affordable public good in developing economies, including those in Africa, to push forward the equal distribution of vaccines.
中國一直致力于促進疫苗公平分配，確保新冠疫苗在非洲等發展中國家的可及性和可負擔性，讓疫苗成為全球公共產品。

China has so far provided more than 750 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines overseas and, over the next four months, will provide 110 million doses to COVAX, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
8月3日，外交部表示，截至目前，我國已經向海外提供了7.5億劑新冠疫苗，接下來的4個月，還將向“新冠肺炎疫苗實施計劃”提供1.1億劑疫苗。

【知識點】

2020年10月8日，中國同全球疫苗免疫聯盟簽署協議，正式加入“新冠肺炎疫苗實施計劃（COVAX）”。這是中國秉持人類衛生健康共同體理念（uphold the concept of a shared community of health for all）、履行自身承諾推動疫苗成為全球公共產品（turn COVID-19 vaccines into a global public good）的一個重要舉措。

“新冠肺炎疫苗實施計劃”由世界衛生組織和全球疫苗免疫聯盟、流行病防范創新聯盟共同牽頭成立，擬于2021年底前向全球提供20億劑新冠肺炎疫苗（the initial aim is to have 2 billion doses available by the end of 2021），供應給“自費經濟體（higher-income self-financing countries）”和“受資助經濟體（lower-income funded nations）”。包括我國在內的“自費經濟體”需向該計劃承諾為本經濟體一定比例人口購買疫苗并繳納預付款，而“受資助經濟體”無須繳納預付款，同時享受該計劃補貼。

China has shown its kindness to the world by donating 26 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines overseas and had provided more than 500 million doses, as well as bulk vaccine, to over 100 countries, regions and international organizations by the end of July－roughly one-sixth of the world's total COVID-19 vaccine output.
截至2021年7月，我國已對外捐贈疫苗超2600萬劑，向100多個國家、地區和國際組織提供了超過5億劑疫苗和原液，相當于全球新冠疫苗總產量的六分之一。
