(Keystone-ATS) The United States has announced the cancellation of $ 500 million in funding for these vaccines, especially against respiratory viruses. “It is unfortunate and it is inappropriate,” the correspondents accredited to the UN in Geneva (ACANU) said on Thursday the secretary general of the group of experts on the Vaccination (Sage) of the World Health Organization (WHO), Joachim Hombach.
ARNM vaccines are “very important technologies and platform,” he added, wishing that they are further strengthened against emerging epidemics. For his part, the director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus repeated that the American decision to withdraw from the institution next January will be “losing” for this country and for the organization. As well as for American citizens.
