Officials: Variants ‘haunt’ world with vaccine imbalance between rich and poor nations - The Washington Post, November 27, 2021
Dr. Madhukar Pai, Professor at the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health and past McGill Global Health Programs Director was among the experts quoted by The Washington Post.
Across a world of vaccine haves and have-nots, the omicron variant sends a warning on how the virus can evolve and spread without more aggressive measures to expand vaccinations, a top South African scientist said Saturday.
Madhukar Pai, an epidemiologist at McGill University in Montreal, wrote: “If you are double or triple vaccinated and are worried about #Omicron, spare a thought for the 3+ billion people who are still waiting for their first dose. Do more than spare a thought. Advocate for vaccine equity!”
