WHO’s世界卫生统计报告2021主要强调无法获得共同获得COVID-19疫苗。它说：“公平且公平的接种疫苗尚未实现，收入群体的不平等现象被宣布，只有1％的剂量降低了[收入]国家，而低等的剂量则为19％截至2021年5月1日，中高收入国家的中等收入国家，高收入国家的33％和47％的国家”。

COVID-19实质上威胁人口healthand well-being across the world. Also, universal health coverage faced “the greatest risk of falling behind” with 90 per cent of countries affected by disruptions in essential health services, the report said.

COVID-19 strikes易受伤害的报告说，人口“不成比例地”，人们生活在人满为患的环境中的人们高风险。它还描述了与data分解（数据的详细子类别），这会导致不平等的健康结果。

根据该报告，“ [[高质量]分解了监测健康不平等的数据，并确保全世界缺乏公平的健康服务访问和吸收……[只有133个研究的国家中，只有51％的国家包括在已发表的国家卫生统计报告中进行数据分解，从[高收入国家]的63％到其他收入群体的46-50％不等。”

布莱恩·瓦尔（Brian Wahl），国际卫生部的流行病学家，约翰·霍普金斯彭博公共卫生学院，，，，Baltimore, US, tellsscidev.net: “In the last year, we have seen [multiple] ways in which COVID-19 has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations, including essential workers and those with limited access to医疗的services.”

Madhukar Pai，，，，Canada Research Chair in Translational Epidemiology and Global Health,麦吉尔大学，，，，Montreal, Canada, notes that the WHO report provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the world’s health.

“The most sobering finding of this report is the true death COVID-19 figure. All countries must work harder to improve the reporting of deaths, since it is one of the most important indicators in global health,” he tellsscidev.net。

On a positive note, the report showed significant improvement in global life expectancy at birth — from 66.8 years in 2000 to 73.3 years in 2019. The improvement was attributed to rapid decrease in孩子死亡率和传染性疾病，低收入国家和中等收入国家是最大的获益者。
