世衛(wèi)啟動(dòng)全球新冠疫苗接種戰(zhàn)略

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Thursday an initiative to vaccinate 40% of the population of every country against COVID-19 by the end of 2021 and 70% by mid-2022, by prioritizing vaccine delivery to low-income countries, particularly those in Africa.

世界衛(wèi)生組織10月7日宣布推出一項(xiàng)全球新冠疫苗接種戰(zhàn)略，優(yōu)先向低收入國(guó)家、特別是非洲國(guó)家提供疫苗，以實(shí)現(xiàn)到2021年年底為所有國(guó)家約40%的人口接種新冠疫苗、到2022年中期接種人口比例提升至70%的目標(biāo)。

According to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, achieving these targets will require at least 11 billion vaccine doses, which is an allocation problem instead of a supply problem.

世衛(wèi)總干事譚德塞在新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上說(shuō)，實(shí)現(xiàn)全球新冠疫苗接種戰(zhàn)略目標(biāo)將至少需要110億劑疫苗，但問(wèn)題不在于疫苗供應(yīng)，而在于疫苗分配。

"With global vaccine production now at nearly 1.5 billion doses per month, there is enough supply to achieve our targets, provided they are distributed equitably," he said at a press briefing.

目前全球疫苗產(chǎn)量接近每月15億劑，只要公平分配，就有足夠的供應(yīng)來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)。
