The WHO Foundation CEO, Anil Soni, has told CNBC that the global economy will lose “trillions of dollars” if more COVID-19 vaccines aren’t delivered worldwide. The World Health Organization has set a target for 70% of the global population to be vaccinated by mid-2022.
Speaking in late February for this week’s episode of CNBC’s “Equity and Opportunity” on vaccine equity, Soni said it is a “moral imperative” to vaccinate the world against Covid.
