More than 130 countries haven't received a single Covid-19 vaccine, while 10 countries have administered 75% of all vaccines, the UN says


(CNN) Just 10 countries have administered 75% of the world's available Covid-19 vaccine supply , while more than 130 countries haven't even received their first doses, according to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. It's unfair, Guterres said , that so few countries should control the bulk of the world's vaccine supplies. To address that inequity, the secretary-general proposed that members of G20 create an emergency task force to promote global vaccine access. Around 188 million vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, according to the digital database Our World in Data . In January, Guterres urged countries to commit to sharing excess vaccine doses, specifically calling out the richest countries in the world that have received millions of doses.
