WHO Calls on Rich Countries to Share Vaccine Doses

The video discusses the global inequity in COVID-19 vaccine distribution, highlighting that while over 6.4 billion doses have been administered, many countries still lack sufficient access. The WHO has launched a strategy to vaccinate 40% of every country's population by the end of the year and 70% by mid-2022, requiring 11 billion doses. The issue is not supply but allocation, and the video calls for countries and manufacturers to update plans, share resources, and prioritize contracts to meet these targets.
