OMS promete vacunas contra covid-19 para 1.000 millones de personas de poblaciones de riesgo para finales de 2021

En este momento, cerca de 200 vacunas experimentales están en pruebas preclínicas y 38 en ensayos clínicos con seres humanos; especialistas recalcan que esta no debe ser la única estrategia contra covid-19

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) aseguró la mañana de este lunes que para finales de 2021 se prevé tener 2.000 millones de dosis de vacunas contra covid-19 para que las personas con mayor urgencia la reciban.

Esta meta se traza con la consideración de que la eventual vacuna aprobada tenga dos dosis, con lo cual el beneficio sería para 1.000 millones de personas.
