"That's not going to cut it:" why America needs to care about COVID-19 vaccines around the world
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
Nearly 65% of the United States' population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which puts us middle of the pack worldwide. But while America is lagging behind several other first-world countries, there are plenty of low-income nations that could use more help. Dr. Joe Amon is the Director of Global Health at Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health, and explains why vaccinating the rest of the planet is critical to preventing the spread of new coronavirus variants. He also discusses how the U.S. and big pharma companies should step up their efforts to get vaccines to low-income countries.
