The World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that two billion doses of the anti-corona (known also as (COVID-19) vaccines were distributed in the world so far.
But only. 5 % of the vaccines were delivered to low-income nations.
In those countries, health workers on the frontlines and elders haven't been vaccinated yet.
Dr. Bruce Aylward, the Senior Adviser to the Director-General of the World Health Organization, said that two billion doses were handed over in more than 212 countries across the planet.
He added that 75% of these doses were distributed into ten countries, especially in the United States of America (USA), India, and China.
Aylward pointed out that those three countries took over 60% of the anti-corona vaccines.
Less than, 5% of the vaccines were delivered in poor countries which represent some 10% of the world's population.
The WHO official warns that the poor nations are still struggling to get sufficient dosed to vaccinate the health workers and the elders who represent the key to go out of the health, social and economic crisis.
The calls for providing 250 million doses until the end of September to save the health workers and more weak people in the poor counties.
He stressed that at least 100 million doses should be provided throughout June and July to start a new system to distribute the vaccine in underdeveloped countries.
He praised the USA as it announced on Thursday to launch a plan to hand over vaccines in a just manner.
The United Nations (UN) cooperated in implanting that system through the COVAX mechanism.
Last Thursday, the USA assured that it will offer 80 doses among them 25 million doses as a preliminary batch this month.
Aylward added that is a good start but he urged another country must join the USA's initiative.
He also calls for providing $ 16 billion to bridge the gap in funds related to confronting the COVID-19.
