Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
World Health Organization (who) does not agree with the mandatory rules vaccine corona virus (COVID-19).
According to the body sponsored by the United Nations (UN), convincing the public about the benefits of vaccines is much more effective in attracting the public to want to get vaccinated than necessary.
Although the WHO has given freedom to all countries to carry out the corona vaccination campaign, the health agency considers that forcing people to get vaccinated is an inappropriate way to promote Covid-19 vaccination.
The WHO believes that forcing all citizens to receive corona vaccines will only create a boomerang that will make residents increasingly unsympathetic to the Covid-19 vaccine.
“I don’t think the mandates are not the right political direction here, particularly for vaccines,” the director of the WHO Immunization Department, Kate O’Brien, said Tuesday at a virtual press conference.
“It would be better to promote and facilitate vaccination without those conditions. I don’t think we want any country to force vaccination,” he added.
Still, O’Brien said there may be some professions, such as medical personnel, that need and are highly recommended for corona vaccination for the safety of hospital staff and patients.
Meanwhile, the WHO does not deny that many people still doubt the efficacy and safety of the corona vaccine.
According to the WHO Director of Emergency Affairs, Michael Ryan, his party and all interests in the world must fight to convince the general public to want to be vaccinated when available.
“The vaccine story is good news. This is the victory of human efforts over the microbial enemy. We need to convince people and we have to convince them,” Ryan said. AFP.
According to WHO data, there are 51 Covid-19 vaccine candidates that have entered the human testing phase. As many as 13 of the 51 candidate vaccines have entered the final stage of massive trials.
Several countries have even planned to start vaccination. Australia, New Zealand, Belgium and Saudi Arabia said they would provide vaccines free of charge to all their citizens.
Meanwhile, the UK is preparing to begin its inaugural vaccination today. The UK became the first country to approve a Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine for general use.
