WHO plans to have 70% of global population vaccinated by mid-2022

The global vaccine target set for the end of September was not met by 56 countries.

People in poorer countries “remain exposed” to the “deadly” Covid-19, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The WHO said that people in poorer countries continue to be at risk while those in richer countries with high vaccination rates enjoy much greater protection as it announced plans to vaccinate 40% of the population of all countries by the end of the year.
