He notes that though the effects of the strain have been mild, there’s no room for complacency.
Dr. Ghebreyesus stressed vaccination is not the only solution regarding omicron.The Director-General adds, COVAX has been sending out more vaccines in the past 9 months. He says the WHO is working rapidly in assisting nations with vaccine shortages.
However, he admits that vaccine distributions are not guaranteed.
