The USA and Germany are by far the largest donors in the development of corona vaccines.
The two countries have together made $ 3.7 billion (3.16 billion euros) available, according to a list by the Center for Global Health at the University Institute for International Studies and Development in Geneva.
The USA invested almost 2.2 billion dollars, Germany 1.5 billion dollars from the state treasury.
This is followed by Great Britain, which comes in at 500 million dollars.
In total, the center lists investments of $ 5.9 billion.
According to this list, 98.12 percent of research funding came from public sources.
However, the Center stresses that insufficient information is available regarding investments by pharmaceutical companies.
Their contribution is likely to be underrepresented in the list, writes the center, as is investments from countries in which their own vaccines have been or are being developed - China or Russia.
Prices for subsidized vaccines vary widely

The biggest recipients were companies like Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, Biontech / Pfizer, CureVac and the University of Oxford, which helped develop the AstraZeneca vaccine, which the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) has only recommended for people over 60 since Tuesday.
The Geneva center also keeps track of manufacturing and sales contracts.
The data situation is even more complicated, it said.
No prices were available for 71 percent of the contracts.
From the prices that were published, according to the center, the Biontech / Pfizer vaccine costs between $ 6.75 and $ 23.50 per dose, the Moderna drug between $ 15 and $ 18, and the Astrazeneca drug between $ 2.50 and $ 8.00.
The Chinese vaccine Sinopharm costs between $ 18.55 and $ 35.72 per dose.
