Description
What does vaccine equity look like? How do we stop COVID-19 becoming a disease of poverty? How can everyone be ‘free’ when freedom is dictated by equitable access to vaccines?
COVID-19 vaccines are fast becoming the only path back to normal in many countries. Yet, vaccine access isn’t a level playing field with low- and middle-income countries being left behind.
According to the World Health Organization, to stop the pandemic at least 40% of people in every country need to be vaccinated by end of 2021 and at least 70% by the first half of 2022. While over 4 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered globally, low-income countries account for just 1% of the total doses.
Join our panel of leading experts as they share insights from the vaccine rollout in Africa, India, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea and discuss the implications of a global failure to achieve vaccine equity. #VaccinEquity #ACTogether #VaccineAccess
