Fresh Covid-19 outbreaks show the virus will spread once the world is less vigilant about the pandemic, while slow global vaccine roll-outs risk more variants emerging, a Chinese infectious disease specialist has warned.
“Most of the world has not yet been vaccinated. Even in countries with abundant supplies, the vaccination rate might hardly reach herd immunity level that can effectively block transmission,” wrote Zhang Wenhong, the head of Shanghai’s Covid-19 clinical team, on the Chinese social media platform Weibo on Sunday.
“Vaccine roll-out is not fast enough and the possibility of the virus mutating and escaping [protection from the vaccines] is increasing.”
