From the article: 58% of people in high-income countries had received at least one vaccine dose; in low-income countries this number stood at just 1.3%.
On additional edit: It’s not just WHO calling for a short delay in booster shots, it’s these guys who wrote an article for the Journal of the American Medical Association too:

Even if countries like the US and UK have not reached the level of a bad influenza season, booster vaccinations are not a meaningful way to achieve that goal. From January 2021 through June 2021, more than 99% of deaths from COVID-19 in the US were among unvaccinated individuals [Note: not the vaccinated — you’re largely safe!] . Thus, a booster campaign will have little to no effect on preventing the worst ongoing harms from COVID-19. A booster vaccination might have meaningful influence if vaccines lose effectiveness in preventing serious disease over time or with new variants. However, even in those cases, the marginal benefit in one country of shoring up waning protection might be much less in comparison to that of providing doses for unvaccinated individuals in other countries, so long as vaccination continues to protect against the most serious harms of infection.
