How Can an Equitable Vaccine Supply Still Succeed?
Salon: United Against Covid
May 19, 2021
online / via Zoom
The entire world population must be protected as soon as possible to bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control. In the second edition of our series “United Against Covid” we discussed conflicting national and international interests in vaccine distribution, the challenges for the international community and current solutions. We focused on the international platform COVAX. The initiative pursues the goal of providing vaccines to 20 percent of the population of its member states by the end of the year. According to reports, vaccines to more than 100 countries have been delivered. Yet only 0.3 percent of people in the poorest countries have been vaccinated.
