WHO and UNICEF warned that there could be a global shortage of 1 to 2 billion syringes next year—the result of Covid-19 vaccination campaigns that required billions more syringes than usual worldwide. WHO’s African regional director warned that the shortage could “paralyze progress” on Covid-19 vaccinations in low- and middle-income countries, while UNICEF pleaded for more syringes for routine immunizations.
