My concern is two-fold. First it looks like the WHO will be advocating for all sorts of vaccines, needed or not.

My concern is two-fold. First it looks like the WHO will be advocating for all sorts of vaccines, needed or not. Different populations are exposed to different diseases and there's no point in vaccinations unless needed. Each nation should control its own public health (most did much better than the US with Covid). The WHO should remain, like the CDC, as an advisory body only.
Second, all vaccines should be voluntary. Recommendations are fine, but mandates from schools and particularly the Government are counterproductive (unvaccinated who survived Covid pre-vaccine have much better immunity than the mRNA vaccinated. There are very few Covid-naive people left.)
The US did away with the tuberculosis vaccine (BCG) as a school "requirement" in 2012(?) In special cases, traveling frequently to TB countries or interacting with relatives who may have TB, the vaccine is advised. Some countries REQUIRE certain vaccines for entry. Veterinarians get rabies vaccinations since they know they'll die or require worse treatments if bitten by a rabid animal, but it's not required. The US was probably in better shape in 1960 with measles pre-vaccine than we are today.
