The coronavirus<\/a> will not be defeated anywhere until it is defeated everywhere, the Archbishop of Canterbury<\/a> has warned.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Radio 4\u2019s Today<\/em> programme on Wednesday morning, after 100,000 Covid-related deaths were reported in the UK, Archbishop Welby said that the UK, like other rich nations, must look after others as well as its own. So far, just under four million people have received the first dose of the vaccine in the UK. About 71.1 million doses have been distributed globally, mostly in the United States and China.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is in our own interests that all round the world the vaccine is given,\u201d Archbishop Welby said. \u201cThe Government has been very, very good about supporting the COVAX programme; we are the biggest donor to it. . . We are one of the countries with one of the highest levels of infection and death rate in the world, and it is necessary to focus on those in need to stop it spreading.\u201d<\/p>\n
