Thank you.
Again, you have my condolences, Mr. Blanco Ferri, on the loss of your father. Thanks for coming back.
My question is for Doctors Without Borders. Maybe Dr. Nickerson can answer this one.
In November 2021, a CARE International presentation highlighted the gender gap in COVID-19 vaccination rates in low- and middle-income countries. In 22 of 24 of the countries in which it operates, CARE noted that women are less likely to be vaccinated and less likely to feel that vaccines are safe. What is more, women make up 70% of health workers worldwide, and are therefore more likely to be in roles that expose them to COVID-19.
Why are women in low- and middle-income countries less likely to be vaccinated than men?
