UN Secretary-General António Guterres criticized vaccine nationalism and vaccine accumulation, as well as deals with COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers that undermine access to vaccines for all people in the world.

Guterres said that the global vaccination campaign represents the greatest moral test of our time.

Many low-income countries have yet to receive a single dose, which is needed to restart the global economy and help the world move from isolating society to isolating the virus, he said.

Guterres reiterated his call for COVID-19 vaccines to be seen as a global public goo.

The world must come together to produce and distribute enough vaccines for everyone, which means at least doubling production capacity around the world, he added.
