Highlighting the inequality in the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu on Monday informed that High and upper-middle countries represent 53 per cent of the world's population but have received 83 per cent of the world's vaccine.

"High and upper-middle countries represent 53 per cent of the world's population but have received 83 per cent of the world's vaccine. By contrast, low and lower-middle income countries account for 47 per cent but have received just 17 per cent of the world's vaccine," said WHO chief during a press briefing.
