On the 25th local time, Bruce Aylward, a senior adviser to the Director-General of the World Health Organization, stated at the 74th World Health Assembly that the inequality of vaccine distribution is increasing. Of the 1.6 billion doses of new crown vaccines distributed worldwide, 83 % Of vaccines are used by high-income and upper-middle-income countries, and the vaccine doses obtained in low-income countries differ by more than 75 times.
Aylward pointed out that the number of daily tests in high-income countries is about 125 times higher than that in low-income countries. If the virus cannot be detected, the epidemic cannot be controlled and the severity of the epidemic cannot be understood until it faces catastrophic consequences. Low-income and low-middle-income countries now need about 3.3 million bottles of oxygen every day, and currently only a small part of their needs can be met.
