At this rate, it would take around 4.8 years to cover 75% of the global population with a two-dose vaccine.
27 member states of the EU together with 5 rich countries pre-ordered half of the vaccines. These countries account for only around 13% of the global population.
10 countries have administered 81% of all COVID-19 vaccines.
Only 10% of people in low-income countries are likely to receive a vaccine this year.
130 countries have not received a single vaccine dose.
Communities in conflict-affected and fragile states in addition to the financial constraints of purchasing sufficient vaccines – have logistical barriers to widespread vaccine access.
- Supply chain workers, and rural and indigenous peoples are on the front lines against our global crises as exploited and marginalised populations doing the essential work - producing goods, growing food and defending ecosystems - on which our daily consumption depends.
- Ongoing lockdown conditions will erase livelihoods and further trap women in oppressive domestic work.
- Poor communities in Southern countries keep everyone alive in the face of enormous precarity with little guarantee of adequate health care should they fall ill.
- Rural populations with poor health infrastructure.
- An equal global access to vaccines, including a TRIPS waiver.
- An ethical and effective framework for global vaccines distribution.
- The cancellation of global South debt and the use of freed up funds for improving national health care systems for distribution and better isolated care conditions for the sick.
- Institutions and decision-makers to act with integrity and principle towards a just recovery for all.
