世衛啟動全球新冠疫苗接種戰略

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Thursday an initiative to vaccinate 40% of the population of every country against COVID-19 by the end of 2021 and 70% by mid-2022, by prioritizing vaccine delivery to low-income countries, particularly those in Africa.

According to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, achieving these targets will require at least 11 billion vaccine doses, which is an allocation problem instead of a supply problem.
世衛總干事譚德塞在新聞發布會上說，實現全球新冠疫苗接種戰略目標將至少需要110億劑疫苗，但問題不在于疫苗供應，而在于疫苗分配。

目前全球疫苗產量接近每月15億劑，只要公平分配，就有足夠的供應來實現這一目標。
