Without universal vaccination, people will not get rid of the pandemic World Health Organization Secretary-General Tedros Ghebreyesus stressed that the world remains at increased risk of a new wave of coronavirus and a sharp increase in the number of cases due to the emergence of a new strain. Until the majority of the inhabitants of our planet develop population immunity, it is impossible to talk about victory over the pandemic..

WHO experts still plan to vaccinate at least 70% of the world's population by the middle of this year. At the same time, it is emphasized that, first of all, vaccinations should be carried out by doctors, the elderly and those who are in other risk groups.. For example, people with weakened immune systems and chronic diseases such as diabetes. Obese people should be especially careful.

According to the head of WHO, without widespread vaccination against coronavirus, the risk of further waves and the emergence of new dangerous mutations of this pathogen will be higher. Moreover, rich countries that have long vaccinated most of the population will also be at risk..

The fact is that each new mutation weakens the power of vaccines already used to protect against infection.. For example, " A new mutation can make vaccinations completely useless, so it is necessary to achieve population immunity and stop the uncontrolled spread of covid around the planet.
