The UK should donate vaccines to developing countries now rather than waiting until it has a surplus, the new head of the World Trade Organization has told the BBC.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said it was "in the interest" of wealthy countries that all nations access vaccines.
It comes after PM Boris Johnson said the UK would donate most of its surplus supply to poorer nations.
Addressing the UK government's plans to donate its surplus vaccines to the developing world, Ms Okonjo-Iweala told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was "welcome" - but cautioned against delay.
