|
|
Vaccines against Covid-19 are being shipped out across the world as part of an international effort to tackle a pandemic that continues to wreak havoc globally.
The Covax scheme aims to ensure vaccines are shared fairly among all nations, rich and poor.
So far, more than 38 million doses of vaccine have been delivered to 98 countries.
Health experts say equitable global access to vaccines is crucial to ending the pandemic.
Why is a scheme to share vaccines needed?
The coronavirus pandemic has destroyed livelihoods and claimed the lives of more than two million people worldwide.
So far, richer countries have been able to buy far more Covid jabs than poorer ones.
Covax hopes to deliver more than two billion doses to people in 190 countries in less than a year.
In particular, it wants to ensure 92 poorer countries will receive access to vaccines at the same time as 98 wealthier countries.
The scheme is led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and also involves the Global Vaccine Alliance (Gavi) and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (Cepi).
Who is funding Covax and which countries might benefit?
Covax has raised more than $6bn (£4.3bn), but the scheme says it needs at least another $2bn to meet its target for 2021.
The UK government has provided $734m and the US pledged $4bn in December.
One of President Joe Biden's first acts in office was to sign up the US to Covax.
The UK, which has ordered 400 million vaccine doses and will have many left over, has said it will donate most of its surplus vaccine supply to poorer countries.
France's President Emmanuel Macron has said richer countries should send up to 5% of their current vaccine supplies to poorer nations.
Ghana was the first country to receive Covax vaccines in February. About 600,000 doses of a vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University were delivered to the capital, Accra.
Since then, doses have been delivered to other low-income countries. Algeria, Malawi and Uganda in Africa, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq in the Middle East, and Barbados, El Salvador and Nicaragua in the Americas are among the recipients. pgslot
Although most of the first doses available will be delivered to low- and middle-income countries, some will be sent to high-income countries such as Canada, which has defended its decision to draw on Covax's early supply. _________________ humanizer |
