WHO Urges Britain to Abandon Mass Vaccination against Corona  

The World Health Organization (WHO) considered that Britain should abandon its plans to conduct mass vaccination of its population against the coronavirus at the current stage.

Experts of the organization recommend the British government to only immunize the groups most at risk of contracting the deadly virus.

"We are telling British residents that they can wait because we believe that countries, after they vaccinate health workers and the most vulnerable people," said WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris, in statements to the BBC.

Harris stressed that others around the world should get vaccines via adopting a balance principle which would be the right step both morally and economically.

The spokeswoman for the organization explained, "I have recently published many pieces of research that prove that it is economically unfeasible for a country to vaccinate its population just to sit down and say later that everything is fine."

Margaret Harris warned against the mistake of focusing on unilateral efforts in the field of combating the novel  Coronavirus ( known also as COVID-19).

She added: "We all live on one planet and interconnected with each other."

On January 25, the Secretary-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, considered that nationalist fanaticism in the field of vaccines could cost the global economy about $ 9.2 trillion, and the economies of rich countries could incur about $ 4.5 trillion from those losses.

This opinion was shared by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, who called for greater justice in the procurement of anti-virus vaccines among the countries of the world.

On December 8, the United Kingdom ( UK) launched a vaccination campaign against the emerging coronavirus, with vaccines developed by several companies. According to the authorities, about 12% of the Kingdom's population received the first dose of the vaccine.

This month, the authorities announced the start of vaccination for people aged between 70 and 80 years, as well as people suffering from diseases that may cause deterioration of their health if they were infected with "COVID-19" disease caused by the Coronavirus.
