Many counrties have developed corona vaccines to fight coronavirus. However, still there are130 nation that have not received a single dose. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has criticised the global distribution of corona vaccines amid the pandemic.
At an online meeting, Guterres criticised what he calls the "wildly uneven and unfair" global distribution of vaccines amid the pandemic. He noted that just 10 countries have administered 75 per cent of all vaccines, while more than 130 have not received a single dose. He urged UN member states to support the COVAX Facility, a framework run by the World Health Organization and other bodies to ensure fair distribution of the corona vaccines.
UN chief took to Twitter and wrote, "Progress on COVID-19 vaccinations has been wildly uneven and unfair. The world urgently needs a Global Vaccination Plan to bring together all those with the required power, expertise and production capacities. I am ready to mobilize the full @UN System in support of this effort." He also called for the creation of a global vaccination plan for equal distribution of vaccines.
Meanwhile, according to the Johns Hopkins University data, 109,901,090 COVID-19 cases and 2,430,096 deaths have been reported globally.
