GENEVA, March 9 (Reuters) - The World Trade Organization
director-general on Tuesday called for urgent action on boosting
COVID-19 vaccine production in developing countries, saying
manufacturing sites could be prepared in six to seven months or
less than half the time previously thought.
"The fact is that each additional day the vaccine shortage
continues, people will pay with their lives," said Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala at a two-day summit focused on COVID-19 vaccine
production.
