OECD urges rich nations to share vaccines to even-up growth

Andrew Cuomo

PARIS (AP) — A leading international economic watchdog is urging developed countries to put more effort into providing low-income countries with coronavirus vaccines in order to ensure that the global recovery from the pandemic is more even.
