COVID-19 is a global problem that requires a concerted effort to end. And experts have pointed out that this will not be possible unless people in every country are vaccinated.

As stated by World Health Organisation (WHO) director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, “Vaccines will help us end the Covid-19 pandemic but only if we ensure fair access for all countries, and build strong systems to deliver them.”
