the 1st country to announce it will offer a 4th quarter good shot, but it's not likely to be the last with afghanistan facing famine. the un security council ease has sanctions against the taliban, making it easier to send. and after months of warnings, the a new tag steps to punish poland for what eco's violations of a key, tracy. ah, more than a 1000000 coven! 19 vaccines have been destroyed in nigeria. health officials say the doses had expired and they were buried to reassure the public about the safety of the country's vaccination program. vaccines have now be a problem in time for trips from agency.

in our problem is to all nigeria to be transparent. you know, i did the re, fax, and actually did not expire before we took the decision to read through them. today. it's an opportunity for nigeria as to how far the vaccination program for dallas in law has more in this story from a boucher according to health officials in the capital c t. m. i hear these racks seem to soft in october and some of them had just about 2 weeks to expire before they would give it to the country. and so they tried as much as we could to get to distributed across the country, especially to route setting where some of these people needed them to be vaccinated . but it couldn't be only succeeded investigating about the media and people with it. and above 1500000 people,

or rather that they had to be immediate on 66000 teams because at the health officials tend to be aware, hamilton, i didn't, and they would want to take that route given that already people have been very reluctant in coming to go back today to decided to go public in trying to more like to show us because i did a lot of the conspiracy theories about vaccination and people have been saying or thought. so they needed to tell more like reassure and that dyslexia we have put in, they've been cutting out test before the vacuum distributed minutes that on a student. so this public display or the public because all of this expired vaccines is just show people that the health authorities were on top of me. again, i were making sure that whatever vaccine were given to people were actually of good quality. and israeli government panel has recommended

a full dose of the coven. 19 vaccine e needed for people older than 16 minutes is give to go head. the country would become the 1st nation to roll out of fort jab. harry faucet were poor. israel was an early leader in mass, vaccinations against covey 19 the 1st country to go for the booster shot. now it's looking to break new ground again. an expert panel is advised the government to offer a 4th shot to everyone over 60 to those who are especially vulnerable and the frontline medical stuff. i don't know. i think that there's a lot of a lot of confusion and i feel at that point what i do for myself and my children is part of advice about personal dr. israel's prime minister has called the recommendation. wonderful news and says he's impatient for final health ministry approval. his campaign to increase the vaccination rate among younger children though, and for the double jabs to get the 1st booster. the sofa full ensure of its targets combined with

a hundreds of thousands who refused vaccine altogether. it means about 40 percent of the population is estimated to be under or unprotected against ami chrome. we are made a lot of fe, interview interviews with doctors with the nurses. a will go to the schools to convince them to come to have a vaccine. yet not all of them are conference, like much in the world's response to the sudden breakthrough of on the chrome. this is a decision that's being made without the full information. one small is really study into the effect of a 4th vaccination has yet to report its results. nonetheless, it's been decided that this is an opportunity, the greater protection that's worth going for. one public health expert says, with the efficacy, untested promoting a 4th injection could add to the mistrust of those hesitant to be vaccinated. so we are doing something that is unusual. reverse epidemiology, we 1st duty intervention, then we studied it. it's not done in preventive medicine. you may do it in severely

sick patients that you have nothing as to offer and you say ok, we need to try something. it's make sense, but you don't do it with preventive medicines within the government panel though, the counter arguments when the day 86 percent of its members voted in favor of the additional booster, not for the 1st time the world will be watching israel results. hurry for sit out 0 west seriously and germany's house minister says a full dose will be necessary because if only crohn, the government ordered 10000000 doses of vaccine made by 5 by and take specifically targeting that new variance. it's also getting millions of newly approved novak's and yet to me all through arrived from neva, jazz arrive early next year. they so comes is the world health organization has once again highlighted vaccine inequity. it's calling on rich nations to share jobs with developing countries. while some countries i know

rolling out blanket booster programs only have of w just member states, i've been able to reach the target of facts in 1840 percent of their populations by the end of the year. because of distortions in global supply. enough vaccines where adams that globally this year, that the 40 percent target could have been reached in every country by september. if those vaccines had been distributed equitably. several callbacks and albert to the us and president joe biden has announced measures to limit the surge of omi chrome cases there. they include expanded tests, support for hospitals and more vaccinations, but he stopped short of calling for more restrictions. kimberly healthcare has moved from washington, dc. what we're seeing in the absence of an aggressive approach by the federal government is cities, municipalities,

states doing their own efforts. in other words, oh, what we're seeing in boston in new york in chicago are a number of different measures and varying forms. for example, some are asking you to input your vaccination status into an app on your phone. and then to show that before you go to a venue, or also seen the cancellation of some sports events, performances on broadway, for example, in new york city. but here's the challenge, is that the economy is still not where it was and, and still trying to bounce back from the effects of the pandemic. and there's a real shortage of staff. and so what we're seeing are private businesses trying to implement some of these rules and having difficulty doing it, given the fact that they're already short staffed, they don't have a dedicated person that can police these different health regulations. and so it's led to a lot of confusion, a patchwork of regulations and a public that in some cases as ignoring them altogether,

which certainly is not going to help in terms of trying to turn around the outbreak of the under current barriers in the u. s. which right now accounts for about 3 quarters of the cases. if you are planning to travel to thailand in the next few weeks, be aware of new restrictions there. and she rules have been tightened once again due to the spread of omicron. the government says the measures will be reviewed in early january, but attorney chang reports from bangkok that may be too late for many struggling businesses to survive. the beaches. a pickup may look busy, but this is as good as it's going to get less than 2 months after fully opening its borders. thailand is once again shutting down luxury gun. for now, we will issue no more commission, and this is the same for ties up with her from now, we're back to the old system of quarantine. when entering with her in an attempt to slow the spread of the oma chrome varian visitors to thailand will once again have to quarantine for

of course it will and it's never been the same since before the country shut, tao. this do have a few customers, but they are all tight. it's high season for the tie tourist industry. many had been banking on a busy holiday season and a fresh start in january. but the promises of the ty government to live with cove at 19, now seem a shaky as their hopes for the future. this is normally the busiest time of year on the cow san road. these new regulations mean the tourists won't be back. and so the tie tourist industry. 2022 is unlikely to be a happy new year. tony chang al jazeera, thank up to the world news now, and the un security council has agreed to a resolution to provide humanitarian aid in afghanistan. it said the support would not be in violation of sanctions against the taliban, which now rules the nation. afghanistan is facing food shortages that may trigger
