The provision of boosters to healthcare workers is only 54.30% even though it has been running for two months. There is also still only 18.78% of the elderly who have been fully vaccinated. Vaccinations must be completed for vulnerable groups first. WHO also recommends not giving the third vaccine, so that vaccine equity is achieved.
