Even if less than half of the American population isfully vaccinated, those who had their shots are already considering obtaining a third party. As concerns regarding the variant of very infectious delta and the revolutionary case numbers grow, some people already examine the possibility of aCovid booster shot. In Israel, boosters have juststarted to be administered to anyone over 60 and in the United States, the hospitals of San Francisco areoffering an extra shot From Pfizer or Moderna to the people who initially received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

On 4 August, WHO called for a break onBoosters Covid For at least two months, saying that low-income countries must be able to give initial doses of vaccine before others, richer countries pass to the third dose. "We need an urgent inversion of the majority of vaccines ranging from high-income countries, by majority of low-income countries", "WHO Director GeneralTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The Agency recommends that no one receives a closer to at least at least the end of September, to allow all the countries of the world a chance to vaccinate by at least 10% of its population. According to TEDRs, four billion doses of vaccine have been administered globally so far, but more than 80% of these doses went to high and higher middle-income countries, less than half of the world population.

"I understand the concern of all governments to protect their people from the delta variant," said Tedros. "But we can not accept the countries that have already used most of the global vaccine offer using even more, while the most vulnerable people in the world are not protected."

Bruce Aylward, MD, the WHO Executive Officer Director General, said the moratorium is part of the Tedros Plan ofvaccinate 40% around the world by December.

According to WHO, more mutated strains - which could be even more infectious than the Delta variant, will continue to emerge and become a risk for all countries unless the world's population is vaccinated. "The whole world is in the midst of that and as we have seen with the emergence of variant after the variant, we can not get out unless the whole world is going together," said Aylward to The press conference, via CNBC. "With the huge disparity of the vaccine coverage, we will simply can not get there."

Aylward added: "The big picture here is a policy not to go ahead with boosters as long as we get the world to a point where older populations, people with comorbidities, people who work on The front lines are all protected from the possible degree with vaccines. "

According to Aylward, the moratorium will be revisited in September and it is possible that the WHO will extend it. "September is quite long? Not on the current trajectory," Aylward said.
