Almost all the countries in the world are carrying out the vaccination drive against the ongoing pandemic to tackle the prevailing situations. However, the poor countries are struggling with Covid's situation with a lack of vaccines.

World Health Organization(WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had once again urged the countries to donate vaccine doses for the poor countries so that all the countries will have vaccine doses in sufficient numbers.

Addressing a press briefing, the WHO chief urged the nations to donate 10 million vaccine doses to the poor nations. The donations should be made within the first 100 days of 2021, media reports claimed.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus went on to say that the COVAX scheme is experiencing a delay in the vaccine donations from all the nations with countries focusing on securing the vaccine doses.

He went on to say that, according to the data collected by the World Health Organization, 36 countries across the nation have not received any vaccine to vaccinate the people.

The WHO Chief maintained that if the COVAX gets 10 million vaccines by the time they expected, then the vaccine gap in the poor countries can be filled and the Covid warriors in the respective nations can be vaccinated accordingly.

The Global Health Agency WHO has started the COVAX scheme to see that the poor countries won't get left out in the vaccination drive. The scheme seeks vaccine donations from countries and sends the same to the poor countries.
