WHO: mesteparten av dei fattige har ikkje råd til svineinfluensavaksiner

Eg vil anbefale denne veldig gode tala halde 14. juli 2009 av direktøren i WHO, Margaret Chan:

"Manufacturing capacity for influenza vaccines is finite and woefully inadequate for a world of 6.8 billion people, nearly all of whom are susceptible to infection by this entirely new and highly contagious virus.

The lion’s share of these limited supplies will go to wealthy countries. Again we see the advantage of affluence. Again we see access denied by an inability to pay."
