UNICEF announces the date of distributing the Corona vaccine to poor countries
Today, the United Nations UNICEF announced the distribution of nearly 2 billion doses of anti-Corona vaccines. For poor countries early next year in a "giant" operation.
The organization said that it "is working with more than 350 airlines and shipping companies to deliver vaccines and more than a billion needles to poor countries." Among them are Yemen, Afghanistan and Burundi, as part of the Kovacs global program to combat the epidemic. ”
Kovacs' efforts are led by the GAVI Vaccine Company, the World Health Organization, and the Epidemic Initiative Alliance. The main goal of the program is to prevent the world's governments from monopolizing vaccines and focus on giving the vaccine first to the most vulnerable in every country.
The role of UNICEF is essential in the "Kovacs" program, as it is the largest agency responsible for purchasing vaccines in the world. It routinely procures approximately 2 billion doses of immunization vaccines annually on behalf of about 100 countries.
Pharmaceutical companies and research centers around the world are racing to find a solution to curb the virus, which has infected more than 58 million people. And it killed 1.3 people. Meanwhile, the "Pfizer and Moderna" vaccines have shown promising results, and are awaiting approval for emergency use.
