GENEVA, Oct 20 — World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said yesterday that 184 countries have now joined the Covax facility, which aims to finance Covid-19 vaccines to be distributed fairly to both rich and poor countries.
“Equitably sharing vaccines is the fastest way to safeguard high-risk communities, stabilise health systems and drive a truly global economic recovery,” Tedros told a news briefing in Geneva.
Ecuador and Uruguay were the most recent countries to join, he said. — Reuters
