Covid-19: WHO chief warns against vaccine nationalism

The head of the World Health Organization on Sunday called for global solidarity in the rollout of any future coronavirus vaccine and warned against "vaccine nationalism". In a video address at the opening of the three-day World Health Summit in Berlin, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the only way to recover from the pandemic was together and by making sure poorer countries had fair access to a vaccine. Acknowledging that countries want to protect their own citizens first, the WHO chief warned that "vaccine nationalism will prolong the pandemic, not shorten it".
