#WHO Director-General commends United States decision to support temporary waiver on intellectual property rights for COVID-19 vaccines. Great news. Key to expanding production capacity and increasing access to vaccines for the most vulnerable and poorest. who.int/news/item/05-0…

Experience from countries with rapid rollout of vaccines shows that they are working, especially in reducing hospitalizations and deaths among vaccinated groups. What we need now is to increase supplies & distribute available doses fairly across all countries @GaviSeth @DrTedros

Much appreciated for the countries proposed the decision under the leadership of #Namibia. #EB148 today adopted it with a overwhelming support. @WHO is aligning the development of the 3 interlinked strategies & global targets with those of @UNAIDS @GlobalFund # other partners.

“The 🌎 is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure” says @DrTedros, not mincing words or pulling punches in his remarks on vaccine equity. #EB148

So glad to see #COVID19 vaccination has started among refugees in #Jordan. I congratulate the Government and our @Refugees colleagues for protecting the most vulnerable. This pandemic will only end if tools are shared equitably. No one is safe until everyone is safe! #ACTogether
