He noted that WHO continues to ask vaccine manufacturers from around the world to move swiftly to provide necessary data.

According to him, that will allow the organization to consider them for emergency use listings.

 

“While we are hopeful about the safe and effective vaccines that are being rolled out, we want to see this sped up and vaccines allocated equitably in the coming weeks,” Tedros said.
