新冠疫情或持續(xù)至2022年末

The Covid pandemic will "go on for a year longer than it needs to" because poorer countries are not getting the vaccines they need, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.

世界衛(wèi)生組織稱，由于"貧窮國家未獲得所需疫苗"，新冠疫情將"不可避免地拖長一年"。

Dr Bruce Aylward, senior leader at WHO, said it meant the Covid crisis could "easily drag on deep into 2022".

世衛(wèi)組織的高級官員布魯斯•艾爾沃德博士稱，這意味著新冠危機很可能"會持續(xù)至2022年末"。

Less than 5% of Africa's population have been vaccinated, compared to 40% on most other continents.

目前非洲只有不到5%的人口接種了疫苗，而其他大陸的疫苗接種率基本都達到了40%。

Aylward appealed to wealthy countries to give up their places in the queue for vaccines so that pharmaceutical companies can prioritize the lowest-income countries instead.

艾爾沃德博士呼吁富國放棄他們在疫苗等待隊列中的位置，讓制藥公司可以優(yōu)先向最貧窮國家供應疫苗。

The People's Vaccine - an alliance of charities - has released new figures suggesting just one in seven of the doses promised by pharmaceutical companies and wealthy countries are actually reaching their destinations in poorer countries.

慈善機構聯(lián)盟"人民的疫苗"發(fā)布的新數(shù)據(jù)顯示，制藥公司和富裕國家承諾捐贈的疫苗只有七分之一送達了貧困國家。

The vast majority of Covid vaccines have been given in high-income or upper middle-income countries.

絕大多數(shù)新冠疫苗都給了高收入或中上收入國家。

Africa accounts for just 2.6% of doses administered globally.

非洲接種的疫苗數(shù)量只占全球疫苗接種數(shù)量的2.6%。
