I'd respect and take the side of MSF more if they weren't expediting
The medical charity Medicins Sans Frontiers (MSF) said its efforts to get more people to be given the vaccine - developed by the U.S. drugmaker Merck (MRK.N) and being used in emergency plans in the Congo epidemic - were being frustrated by "tight controls on supply and eligibility criteria imposed by the WHO".
"Time is of essence in an outbreak: medical teams should be able to rapidly provide treatments or vaccines based on what they see on the ground," MSF’s emergency coordinator Natalie Roberts said in a statement.
"But our capacity... is severely undermined by a rigid system which is hard to comprehend."
The WHO denied it was rationing the vaccine and said it was working as hard as any organization to end Congo’s deadly Ebola outbreak.
