we call on all countries to ensure that all health and care workers in every country are prioritised for #COVID19 vaccines, alongside other at-risk groups"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity #SupportHealthCareWorkershttps://twitter.com/WHO/status/1451186779420196877?s=20 …
we call on countries to ensure all health & care workers are:
-protected & supported
-with safe working conditions
-regular salaries & pay equity
-appropriate education, career opportunities & social protection"-"More than 10 months since the first #COVID19 vaccines were approved, the fact that millions of health workers still haven’t been vaccinated is an indictment on the countries and companies that control the global supply of vaccines"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquitypic.twitter.com/ZVe4NiqW6K
"High- and upper-middle income countries have now administered almost half as many booster shots as the total number of vaccines administered in low-income countries"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquityhttps://twitter.com/DrTedros/status/1450421721291530241?s=20 …
"In 10 days’ time, 20 people will meet in Rome with the ability to change that – the leaders of the @g20org countries. Between now and then, roughly 500 million vaccine doses will be produced"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
"That’s the amount of additional doses we need to achieve our target of vaccinating 40% of the population of every country by the end of the year"-@DrTedros #COVID19 #VaccinEquityhttps://twitter.com/WHO/status/1451188344348577798?s=20 …
"82 countries are at risk of missing that target. For 3/4 of those countries, it’s simply a problem of insufficient supply. The other 1/4 of countries have some limitations in their ability to absorb vaccines, and we are working to address those problems"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
"The target is reachable, but only if the countries & companies that control supply match their statements with actions right now.

"@g20org countries have pledged to donate more than 1.2 billion #COVID19 vaccine doses to #COVAX. So far, only 150 million have been delivered. For most donations, we have no timeline. We don’t know what’s coming when"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
"Manufacturers have not told us how much #COVAX will receive, or when we will receive it.
We cannot have equity without transparency"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
"Ahead of the @g20org Summit next week, we plan to publish the new 12-month Strategic Plan and Budget for the @ACTAccelerator, which will set out the actions and resources needed to achieve our targets"-@DrTedros #ACTogether
"It’s clear what needs to happen:
The countries that have already reached the 40% target – which includes all the @g20org countries – must give their spot in the vaccine delivery queue to #COVAX and AVAT"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquityhttps://twitter.com/WHO/status/1451189956202823681?s=20 …
"The @g20org countries must fulfil their dose-sharing commitments immediately;
Manufacturers must prioritize and fulfil their contracts with #COVAX and AVAT as a matter of urgency, and be far more transparent about what is going where"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
"And they must share know-how, technology, licences and waive intellectual property rights.
We’re not asking for charity; we’re calling for a common-sense investment in the global recovery"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
"#COVAX has the money and contacts to buy #COVID19 vaccines. What we don’t have is any visibility on when the manufacturers will deliver"-@DrTedroshttps://twitter.com/WHO/status/1451190275397742614?s=20 …
