“Fair distribution to developing countries” September 22, 17:06 over the new corona vaccine
The organization that is promoting the creation of a framework to fairly deliver the new coronavirus vaccine to countries around the world has officially participated in 156 countries and regions, and more than 30 countries are proceeding with domestic procedures aiming for participation. I made it clear that I am.
On the other hand, the United States and China have not participated and are calling for further support, saying that they are short of funds.
In June, the WHO = World Health Organization developed and manufactured a new coronavirus vaccine together with the Gavi Vaccine Alliance, a public-private joint international organization working on vaccination against infectious diseases in developing countries. We are creating a framework for fair distribution to countries around the world.
The framework will reach the deadline for participation on the 18th of this month, and Gavi's Executive Secretary Berkeley will hold a press conference with WHO and others on the 21st, and 156 countries and regions including 64 countries participating with their own funds such as Japan will be officially announced. It was revealed that he participated in.
In addition, 38 countries are continuing the process of obtaining parliamentary approval for participation.
On the other hand, the United States and China are not participating.
Although WHO has announced that it will contribute 1.4 billion dollars (about 146 billion yen in Japanese yen) from each country and charity for vaccine development, it still lacks 800 million dollars (about 83 billion yen). We are calling for further support.
