Covid: WHO demands countries prioritise health worker vaccines

The World Health Organization has reiterated its demand that vaccinating all health workers should be an urgent priority for every nation. It set a target of achieving that goal globally within 100 days back in January, but there are only nine days of that period remaining and the target has a long way to go.

The WHO’s director-general also said that while 560 million doses have been administered in 179 countries, many nations are yet to vaccinate a single person.
