The news comes following a promising study in a Brazilian town, which saw deaths, cases and hospitalizations plummet after 95% of its population was given the Sinovac jab.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No jab? No football: The Egyptian Football Association will not start its next season<\/strong> until all players have received, or have registered for, at least one dose of a covid-19 vaccine, Egyptian football boss Ahmed Megahed said in an interview with ON Time Sports TV channel (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sH45T1rKnpo\">watch, runtime:<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sH45T1rKnpo\"><\/a><sup><\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sH45T1rKnpo\">13:23<\/a>).

The three organizations joined the fund yesterday, calling on world leaders in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/commentaries\/detail\/a-new-commitment-for-vaccine-equity-and-defeating-the-pandemic\">a joint statement<\/a> to stump up the money to fund an unprecedented global vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The plan: The IMF thinks it is possible to fully vaccinate at least 40% of the world\u2019s population by the end of this year<\/strong>, and the remaining 60% in the first half of 2022. A rapid end to the pandemic could add USD 9 tn to the global economy by the middle of the decade, it estimates. The plan would be funded by at least USD 35 bn of grants, USD 15 bn from national governments and low-cost lending from multilateral lenders, with advanced economies contributing the largest sums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warnings of a global K-shaped recovery:<\/strong> IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva raised the prospect of the global economy bifurcating, with the economies of wealthy countries rebounding and vaccine-scarce developing economies remaining depressed. \u201cWe are deeply concerned because an increasingly two-track pandemic is causing a two-track economic recovery\u2014with negative consequences for all countries,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/News\/Articles\/2021\/06\/01\/sp060121-remarks-by-kristalina-georgieva-at-joint-who-imf-wto-wbg-press-conference\">she said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Producing vaccines is one thing. Getting them to where they\u2019re needed is another: <\/strong>Inefficient distribution and short vaccine shelf-lives are rendering thousands of doses useless, with many African nations disposing of shots that arrive to their countries too late to be administered, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/8e1385cf-1569-4bf8-904e-fdc29367a758\">the Financial Times<\/a> reports. Malawi last month publicly burnt some 20k expired jabs of the Oxford\/AstraZeneca vaccine, while South Sudan elected to send 72k doses to Kenya under the Gavi sharing policy, rather than see them expire before they could be administered. While several manufacturers are aiming to extend the shelf-life restrictions of their vaccines, \u201cthe current expiry dates add real pressure to vaccination campaigns that can already be heavily challenged,\u201d said Amanda Harvey-Dehaye, a task force leader at M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res. Most covid-19 vaccines have a shelf life of six months, though Sinopharm can last up to two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Covid cases are continuing to fall here at home: The Health Ministry reported 956 new covid-19 infections yesterday, down from 984 the day before.
