2021 年 9 月 1 日，欧洲疾病预防和控制中心 (ECDC) 发布了一份技术报告，概述了 COVID-19 疫苗加强剂量的公共卫生案例。结论是，普通人群中已完全接种疫苗的人并不迫切需要加强注射。该报告建议成员国优先考虑欧盟和欧洲经济区尚未接种两剂 COVID-19 疫苗的三分之一成年人。ECDC 补充道，“应特别考虑目前全球 COVID-19 疫苗的短缺情况，注射加强剂量的 COVID-19 疫苗可能会进一步加剧这种情况”。世卫组织总干事谭德塞也表达了类似的担忧。 8 月 4 日，他呼吁暂停使用加强疫苗。谭德塞表示，“我们不能接受已经使用了全球大部分疫苗供应的国家使用更多疫苗，而世界上最脆弱的人群仍然得不到保护”。截至他发表声明时，高收入和中高收入国家的人们已接种了全球 80% 以上的 COVID-19 疫苗剂量。世卫组织警告称，非洲 42 个国家可能无法实现在 9 月底之前为最脆弱的 10% 人口接种疫苗的目标。大约 3% 的非洲人已完全接种疫苗，而美国人的这一比例为 52%。
On Sept 1, 2021, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) issued a technical report outlining the public health case for booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccines. It concluded that fully vaccinated individuals in the general population are in no urgent need of a booster shot. The report recommended that member states instead prioritise the one-third of adults in the EU and European Economic Area who have not yet received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.“Special consideration should be given to the current global shortage of COVID-19 vaccines, which could be further worsened by the administration of booster COVID-19 vaccine doses”, added the ECDC. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has voiced similar concerns. On Aug 4, he called for a moratorium on boosters.“We cannot accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it, while the world’s most vulnerable people remain unprotected”, said Tedros. At the time of his statement, people in high-income and upper-middleincome nations had received over 80% of the doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered around the world. WHO has warned that 42 states in Africa are likely to miss the target of vaccinating the most vulnerable 10% of their population by the end of September. Around 3% of Africans have been fully vaccinated, compared with 52% of Americans.
