Geneva, January 13 (RHC)-- In Geneva, World Health Organization officials have warned it’s unlikely most countries will reach herd immunity through vaccination in 2021.  

WHO adviser Bruce Aylward called on wealthy countries and drug companies to do more to provide vaccines to the world’s poorer nations.  Aylward said: “Over 40 countries have now begun vaccinating against COVID-19 using five different COVID vaccines.  However, all of that vaccination, or virtually all of it, as the director-general has emphasized, were in the high-income and upper-middle-income countries so far.”
