UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres has criticised the “wildly uneven and unfair” distribution of Covid-19 vaccines globally.

Speaking at a high-level meeting of the UN Security Council, the UN chief said 10 countries had so far administered 75% of all vaccinations and he demanded a global effort to get all people in every nation vaccinated as soon as possible.
