The UN compared the vaccination rates of low- and high-income countries

No low-income country has vaccinated 40% of its population against covid-19 , while 71 high-income countries have. This was stated at a briefing by the representative of the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric.

So, when asked about the implementation of the UN goal to vaccinate 40% of the world's population by the end of 2021 and 70% by mid-2022, he said: "We are not in the place where we would like to be."

The organization pointed out that according to WHO, none of the low-income countries has reached the target of 40% vaccinated. However, 12 lower middle income countries, 27 upper middle income countries and 71 high income countries have already exceeded the target.

On October 7, UN Secretary-General António Guterres and WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus presented a strategy for global vaccination of 40% of the population against COVID-19. This program requires 11 billion doses of CORONAVIRUS vaccines. According to the UN Secretary General, by October, only 6.3 billion doses of the drug had been produced in the world, while more than half of the population had not received a single dose of the vaccine.
