Poor vaccination against COVID vaccine continues in America, PAHO warns | Stories

The Pan American Health Organization estimates that less than half of Americans are fully vaccinated.

Following a two-month decline, the COVID-19 epidemic is on the rise in other parts of the United States, according to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). incompatible vaccine across the region continues to be a problem.

At the weekly meeting Wednesday, PAHO Director Carissa Etienne said Colombia, Bolivia as well as the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados are seeing an increase in cases of coronavirus in some areas.

Concerns have been mounting that although the risks of vaccination are increasing, there is a lack of uniformity of jabs, skepticism of vaccines, and threats of continued vaccination. infectious diseases of Delta can lead to new infections.

But Etienne said the “good news” is that vaccine prices continue to grow, while 48 percent of Americans now have COVID-19 vaccine.

Although Chile, Uruguay, Canada, and the United States have so far provided vaccinations for adults, the poorest nations in the region have been vaccinated. still in the background.

Jamaica, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Guatemala have so far vaccinated less than one in five people, Etienne said.

“In Nicaragua, aid remains high and in Haiti, at least 1 percent of people have been vaccinated,” he told reporters. “This injustice must be stopped.”

To address the problem of vaccination, he said PAHO is planning to work with government agencies and private companies in Argentina and Brazil to create national capacity to develop and develop vaccines throughout the region.

The America The district has registered 700,000 new cases and 13,000 deaths linked to coronavirus last week, Etienne added.

Meanwhile, some areas in the US are also seeing an increase in the risk of disease even though the number of cases is declining in some areas.

California, Colorado, Alaska, Montana and New Mexico are seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases, according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.

U.S. officials say the prevalence of COVID-19 could be linked to the prevalence of the virus among children, who have returned to study privately this year in many areas, with declining resilience among adults as vaccine defenses disappear.

Dr Anthony Fauci, the U.S. chief infectious disease specialist, said Delta diversity accounts for 99 percent of new cases but health officials continue to monitor the release of all other types.

The US operates about 800,000 exercise day across the area, where last week started vaccination millions of children five to 11 years old to children’s offices and special telephone centers.

Finding vaccines for teens and young children “will go a long way in preventing further surgeries you feel,” Dr Rochelle Walensky, chief of the CDC, told a news conference at the White House Wednesday.

Jeff Zeints, co-chair of the White House COVID-19, said 900,000 children have already received their first jab.
