世卫组织:优先为这些人群接种
瑞士日内瓦当地时间9月4日,世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞在记者会上呼吁全球各国联合应对新冠疫情,称“疫苗民族主义”只会拉长疫情持续的时间。谭德塞表示:将疫苗作为全球公共资源符合每一个国家的民族利益。
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reiterated at a Friday briefing that vaccine nationalism will prolong the problem, not shorten it.
Tedros said using vaccines effectively across the world is "a global public good" and it is in the "the national interest of each and every country."
据新华社报道,谭德塞4日表示,未来新冠疫苗正式投入使用后,由于初期供应量有限,首要任务是为所有国家的特定人群接种,而不是一些国家的所有人。
谭德塞在当天的例行记者会上说,我们都希望未来几个月会有关于新冠疫苗的好消息。一旦获得安全有效的疫苗,初期供应量应该是有限的,因此必须优先考虑为关键部门从业人员和高风险人群接种,包括老年人和有基础疾病人群。这不仅在道德责任和公共卫生职责上有必要,在经济上也是如此。未来随着疫苗产量增加,所有人都能获得接种疫苗的机会。
谭德塞介绍说,目前有9种新冠候选疫苗得到了流行病防范创新联盟(CEPI)的支持,其中7种正在开展临床试验,如果成功,将纳入COVID-19疫苗全球获取机制COVAX。此外,世卫组织还正在就4种有希望的候选疫苗展开讨论,并评估是否将其他9种目前仍处于早期研发阶段的候选疫苗纳入COVAX。
COVAX全球新冠疫苗计划由世卫组织主导,目标是2021年年底前在全球范围内提供至少20亿剂安全有效的新冠疫苗。这一计划包括联合采购和分担多种新冠疫苗风险的国际机制,无论哪种疫苗将来被证明安全有效,参与国都能够及时获得这些疫苗,不论是中低收入国家还是高收入国家。
谭德塞说,目前已有78个中高收入国家和经济体确认将加入COVAX,包括德国、日本、挪威等,且这一数字还在不断增加。谭德塞此前介绍说,已有172个国家和地区表示加入世卫组织主导的COVAX全球新冠疫苗计划。
世卫组织首席科学家苏米娅斯瓦米纳坦则表示,目前新冠疫苗仍处于早期研发阶段,还需经过多项测试。预计到2021年年中,新冠疫苗将开始进入各国。
