A group convened by the World Health Organization said it supports broad access to COVID-19 vaccines, including booster doses.
, WHO said its expert group concluded that immunization with authorized COVID-19 vaccines provide high levels of protection against severe disease and death amid the continuing spread of the hugely contagious Omicron variant.
WHO eased back on its earlier position in January by saying boosters were recommended once countries had adequate supplies and had protected their most vulnerable. The global health agency said vaccination, including the use of boosters, was especially important for people at risk of severe disease.Last year, WHO’s director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called for a moratorium on booster doses while dozens of countries embarked on administering them, saying rich countries should immediately donate those doses to poor countries instead. WHO scientists said at the time they would continue to evaluate incoming data.
