Origin

2022 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 12.3, with the following paragraph:

"treat all people equally, whether unvaccinated or vaccinated against Covid-19 by a vaccine approved either by the EMA or by the WHO, whose Emergency Use Listing procedure enables a thorough assessment of the quality, safety and effectiveness of vaccines;".

Explanatory note

Inclusion in the emergency use list is an unnecessary restrictive condition. In addition, human rights require that we treat everyone equally and not discriminate based on vaccination status.
