New York, June 3 (RHC)-- The heads of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization and World Health Organization are promoting a $50 billion plan to increase vaccine access and end the pandemic faster.  

The agencies’ leaders note that low-income nations have received less than 1% of vaccines administered so far, writing: “Some affluent countries are already discussing the rollout of booster shots to their populations, but the vast majority of people in developing countries — even front-line health workers — have still not received their first shot.”

Meanwhile, a new report by the International Labor Organization finds the coronavirus pandemic has pushed over 100 million workers into poverty, wiping out 144 million jobs in 2020.
