(PAHO<\/strong>) Pan American Health Organization Director Carissa F. Etienne warned that 75% of the population in Latin America and the Caribbean has yet to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and reported that PAHO is accelerating its drive to expand vaccine access throughout the region.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThree fourths of people in Latin America and the Caribbean have not been fully immunized,\u201d Dr. Etienne said during her weekly media briefing. \u201cMore than a third of countries in our region have yet to vaccinate 20% of their populations. And in some places, coverage is much lower.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVaccination rates remain in the teens in several Caribbean and South American countries and coverage is still in the single digits in Central American nations like Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua,\u201d she continued.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In Haiti and Venezuela, fragile health systems and political challenges have further delayed immunizations. \u201cUnfortunately, countries with high coverage are the exception in our Region,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Dr. Etienne said that in total, 540 million COVID-19 vaccine doses must be delivered to ensure that all countries in Latin America and the Caribbean can cover at least 60% of their populations. \u201cSo we must expand vaccine access in our region, especially in the places that are lagging,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In response to the shortage, PAHO has launched a fresh drive for donations. \u201cWe are working to draw the attention of developed countries to the urgent need to donate vaccines to Latin America and the Caribbean,\u201d Dr. Etienne said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In addition, PAHO is using its Revolving Fund to procure vaccines for member states. Already PAHO has received requests from 24 countries for COVID-19 vaccines, which will be available in the final quarter of this year and in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also thinking ahead and making plans to significantly improve regional vaccine manufacturing capacity,\u201d Dr. Etienne said. \u201cJust last week, we launched a new platform that convenes partners around a shared vision of boosting state-of-the-art vaccine production in Latin America and the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The first initiative under the platform is to facilitate the transfer to the region of the mRNA vaccine technology used in highly effective COVID-19 vaccines.\u00a0 PAHO has received 32 proposals from private and public companies that want to participate in the endeavor.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Dr. Etienne urged countries to prioritize the most vulnerable for vaccination, such as the elderly, health workers and those living with pre-existing conditions. Countries should make sure that logistics systems can absorb vaccine doses and cold chains can keep them cool and that health systems are ready to deliver doses fast once they arrive.<\/p>\n

Epidemiological situation<\/strong><\/p>\n

While vaccination rates are low in Latin America and the Caribbean, many countries are experiencing a rapid rise in COVID-19 infection.<\/p>\n

In the Caribbean, Saint Lucia and Puerto Rico are reporting high rates of new infections, while Jamaica is experiencing its highest-ever COVID deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutbreaks are accelerating in multiple Central American countries, especially Costa Rica and Belize,\u201d Dr. Etienne said. \u201cIn South America, infections are generally declining, with a few exceptions: in Venezuela cases are plateauing, and in Suriname, transmission has increased for four consecutive weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

In total, over 1.6 million new COVID-19 cases and just under 22,000 deaths were reported in the Americas in the past week.<\/p>\n

Crisis in Haiti<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turning to the continuing crisis in Haiti, where an earthquake struck on Aug. 14, Dr. Etienne reported that most hospitals are overwhelmed, and many health facilities have been damaged.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have injured people in remote communes who are still without medical attention because they can\u2019t reach health centers or hospitals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

PAHO has deployed 27 tons of medicines as well as several specialists to support field coordination, epidemiological surveillance, health cluster coordination, emergency projects, logistics, and EMT coordination. PAHO is also working closely with the Ministry of Public Health and Population to help coordinate international aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need more medical personnel, medicines, and medical supplies such as anesthetic drugs and orthopedic supplies for the injured,\u201d she said. \u201cAnother need is psychosocial support for healthcare personnel and the people affected by this earthquake.\u201d<\/p>\n
