WHO warns against reliance on boosters

04:15pm, Thursday, 23'rd Dec 2021 The Manila Times
THE World Health Organization (WHO) warned Wednesday that rich countries cannot use boosters to escape the coronavirus. "No country can boost its way out of the pandemic," said the WHO''s secretary-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Wednesday. "Blanket booster programs are likely to prolong the Covid-19 pandemic, rather than ending it, by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of vaccination coverage, giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mutate." Nor should a third dose of vaccine be seen as carte blanche, he added. "Boosters cannot be seen as a ticket to go ahead with planned celebrations." Unrestrained end-of-year celebrations could still prove to be a major source of new infections, the WHO warned. The threat of the highly mutated Omicron variant is looming large over the end-of-year holidays, pushing many governments to roll out new restrictions and urge citizens to get vaccinated. The latest data suggest Omicron does not cause more severe illness than previous variants, including Delta, but as soaring infection numbers threaten to overwhelm health systems, scientists warn it could still cause more deaths.
