<p>Addressing a press conference in Geneva, Switzerland, director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that preparing a vaccine was planning for the “worst situation”.</p>

<p>But he acknowledged that development was a “balancing act” – adding that the imminent focus should be on public health solutions.</p>
<p>“We have to invest in preparedness and really use this window of opportunity to stay away from any serious crisis,” he said.</p>

<p>“We have to strike a balance. The vaccine could be the long term, because it could take up to 12 to 18 months. And this is like preparing for the worst situation.</p>
<p>“It’s the simple public health solutions that we should do that should really be our focus, while of course preparing for the vaccine.</p>

<p>“That balancing act is very, very important. We do what should be done today and then we invest also in the future to prepare for the future.”</p>
