Global COVID cases rise as BA.4 and BA.5 expand (CIDRAP)

COVID-19 cases jumped 18% last week and are at their highest levels since April, the WHO says.

And less than 40% of eligible adults ages 18 to 49 have received a third dose. Less than 10% of eligible children ages 5 to 11 have received a booster dose, and just 28.7% of adolescents ages 12 to 17 have gotten an extra dose. For the general population, Tedros said it's important to keep strengthening immunity, which helps reduce severity and longer-term impacts from the disease. Combined, BA.4 and BA.5 made up 55% of sequenced samples. Second-generation vaccines that stop or reduce infection would be a major step forward, but ideally, the solution is a pan-coronavirus vaccine that covers current and future variants, he said. About 4.1 million cases were reported to the WHO last week, likely an undercount given reduced testing in many countries.

The WHO chief also voiced concern over the slow pace of vaccination in lower-income countries, making the at-risk population in those areas more vulnerable ...

Building on existing vaccines that limit severity and prevent death, developing second-generation vaccines that stop – or at least lower infection – would be a major step forward,” he said. Yes, I do,” he said. He said the “pandemic is changing but it’s not over. “Even relatively ‘mild’ cases are disruptive and damaging, keeping children out of school and adults from work, which causes further economic and supply chain disruption. “On the flip side, hundreds of millions of people, including tens of millions of health workers and older people in lower-income countries remain unvaccinated, which means they are more vulnerable to future waves of the virus,” he said. “We’re close to the mid-point of the year, which is the point at which WHO had called on all countries to vaccinate at least 70% of their population,” he said, adding that in the past 18 months, more than 12 billion vaccines have been distributed around the world and 75 per cent of the world’s health workers and over-60s are now vaccinated.

COVID-19: BA.4 and BA.5 variants spur 20 per cent rise in cases (UN News)

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in some 110 countries, driven by the BA.4 and BA.5 variants, said the UN health agency chief on Wednesday, amounting to a 20 ...

He warned that our ability to track the virus is under threat as reporting and genomic sequences are declining. Tedros said that it was critical for funding to be secured for “second generation vaccines”, as well as testing and treatments. Last year, it was the hoarding of vaccines by rich and manufacturing countries which proved to be the major barrier to access, but this year, it’s what he described as the wavering “political commitment to getting vaccines out to people - and challenges of disinformation”, which are thwarting the pace of inoculations at the national level.
