Vaccines would be delivered in two phases.
In the first case, the doses would be distributed proportionately to all countries simultaneously, with the aim of reducing the overall risk.
In the moment phase, the country’s risk and the point of vulnerability will come into play.
Tedros said frontline staff in the social and fitness sectors would take precedence from the first phase, “because they are essential to treat and protect the population and be in close contact with teams with the greatest threat of mortality,” he said..
Initial knowledge showed that adults over the age of 65 and those in pre-existing express situations had the greatest threat of death from COVID-19.
“For a maximum of countries, an allocation of up to 20 consistent with the percentage of the population would cover the maximum number of at-risk groups,” Tedros said.
“If we do not protect these other people at risk from the virus to the fullest, and at the same time we will not be able to stabilize fitness systems and rebuild the global economy.”
In the absence of a vaccine, WHO has maintained the notion that 50 per cent of others who have developed resistance to the new coronavirus would be sufficient for “collective immunity” and thus prevent transmission.
WHO Director of Emergency Michael Ryan said the planet “is far from close to the degrees of immunity needed to prevent the disease.”
People “do not live in the hope that collective immunity will be our salvation.At the moment, it’s not a solution,” he added.
Aylward said “very high” degrees of vaccination would be required to achieve collective immunity, as the vaccine would not affect all injected people.
