GENEVA : There is a "shocking imbalance" in the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide and most countries do not have anywhere near enough shots to cover health workers and others at high-risk, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Friday.More than 700 million jabs have been administered worldwide against the disease, but 87% have gone to high income or upper middle-income countries, with low income countries receiving just 0.2%, he said."On average in high-income countries, almost one in four people has received a COVID-19 vaccine.
In low-income countries, it’s one in more than 500," Tedros told a briefing.The COVAX facility has delivered nearly 38.4 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to 102 countries across six.
