WHO Media
| Monday 1 March, 2021 Please find enclosed the link of the WHO Director-General's statement as well as other materials from the COVID-19 media briefing on 1 March: https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19-1-march-2021 - Today, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire started vaccinating health workers against COVID-19, becoming the first countries to begin vaccination campaigns with doses supplied through COVAX. A further 11 million doses will be delivered this week.
- Between now and the end of May, 237 million doses of vaccines will be allocated to 142 participating economies in COVAX. Tomorrow, COVAX will publish the first round of allocations, covering the majority of economies participating in the COVAX Facility.
- In the past week, the number of reported cases of COVID-19 increased for the first time in 7 weeks. Reported cases increased in four of WHO’s six regions: the Americas, Europe, South East Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean.
- Today marks Zero Discrimination Day – a day to draw attention to the numerous barriers that stand between people and the health services they need. And it’s a timely reminder of our focus on health equality for World Health Day this year, with the theme of “Building a fairer, healthier world.”
