Vaccine Does Not Equal Zero Covid, Warns WHO; Bahrain 2nd Nation to Approve Pfizer Shot After UK

Bahrain said on Friday it has granted emergency use authorisation for the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, becoming the second country after Britain to approve it. The Gulf Arab state had also approved Sinopharm’s COVID-19 vaccine in November for use by frontline workers.

The World Health Organisation (WHO), meanwhile, warned that the roll-out of vaccines to fight the Covid-19 pandemic will not, on its own, eliminate the virus.
