Havana, Jan 18 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez on Monday questioned the access to the available anti-Covid-19 vaccines, which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), benefits the most developed nations.
On his Twitter account, the Cuban foreign minister called attention on the fact that only 10 countries bought 95 percent of the Covid-19 vaccines produced so far, a number that raises doubt on the real possibilities of immunization for the developing world.
'How could equitable access to immunization be guaranteed in the nations of the South?' the Cuban foreign minister wondered.
'How could vaccination be assured for poor and vulnerable families, and how long would it take to implement it?'
On Monday, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the planet is on the verge of a 'catastrophic moral failure' due to the unequal distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, which will be paid for with the lives of many people in the poorest countries.
In that scenario, Cuba and Venezuela are moving forward with the creation of the Vaccine Bank for the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People's Trade Treaty, an initiative that seeks to guarantee the vaccination of the peoples of the integration mechanism.
