“#Europe’s COVID vaccination programs ‘unacceptably slow’: WHO<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The World Health Organization has criticized vaccination programs in Europe for being \u201cunacceptably slow\u201d as many countries grapp<\/a>le with spikes in COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n

Hans Kluge, who is the WHO\u2019s regional director for Europe,\u00a0said the pace of the vaccine rollout there has prolonged the pandemic in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cVaccines present our best way out of this pandemic\u2026 However, the rollout of these vaccines is unacceptably slow,\u201d he said Wednesday in a statement.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe must speed up the process by ramping up manufacturing, reducing barriers to administering vaccines, and using every single vial we have in stock, now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He said he feared that the arrival of vaccines had already led the public to believe that the health crisis was over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe risk of ongoing vaccination providing a false sense of security to authorities and the public alike is considerable \u2013 and that carries a danger,\u201d Kluge said.<\/p>\n

However, only a small portion of the regional population has been vaccinated.<\/p>\n

So far, only 4 percent of Europeans have been fully vaccinated against the virus, while around 10 percent have received at least one dose, the agency said.<\/p>\n

The low vaccination rates come as 50 countries or territories have detected the highly-contagious UK variant, which has contributed to outbreaks in the region.<\/p>\n

New waves of cases have prompted at least 27 countries to issue full or partial lockdowns.<\/p>\n

Kluge called on Europeans to follow public health measures as the countries work to ramp up their vaccination supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greatest determinant of how many people get infected and how many people die in the coming weeks is what you as an individual do \u2013 or don\u2019t do. We have seen it time and time again: virus spread can be stopped,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
