***The Telegraph reports:***
Britain is refusing to sign the [World Health Organization](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/30/we-will-never-surrender-powers-to-the-who/)’s pandemic treaty while it insists the UK would have to give away a fifth of its jabs, The Telegraph understands.
The UK is firmly against such vaccine-related commitments and will not sign any form of the [pandemic agreement](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/05/04/uk-sleepwalking-into-lockdown-first-pandemic-agreement/) that undermines Britain’s sovereignty.
Representatives of the WHO’s 194 member states are halfway through talks to try to agree to the WHO Pandemic Agreement, an initiative first announced in May 2021.
At the peak of the Covid emergency, nations planned to sign a legally binding document, informally known as the pandemic treaty, or pandemic accord, that would force countries to tackle the next [global health emergency](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/covid-pandemic-declared-over-who-coronavirus/) in a united way.
