Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on Wednesday said that he will take a COVID-19 vaccine publicly when such a vaccine becomes available to him.
While asking whether he will take a vaccine and whether he will do it publicly given wariness among people toward vaccination, Guterres said, “I, of course, intend to receive the vaccine when it becomes available for me in whatever situation that will be justified for that. And obviously, I would have no doubt in doing it publicly.”
The Secretary-General of the United Nations encouraged everybody to be vaccinated.
“I encourage everybody to be vaccinated because it is a service not only that we provide to ourselves. Each one of us being vaccinated provides a service to the whole community because we are no longer spreading, there is no risk of spreading the disease,” he told reporters after an annual United Nations-African Union conference.Guterres reiterated his call for a COVID-19 vaccine to be a global public good available to everyone, everywhere, and particularly, available in Africa.
