WHO = World Health Organization Secretary-General Tedros welcomes the start of supply by the COVAX Facility, an international framework aimed at fair distribution of vaccines for the new coronavirus, while providing countries with their own pharmaceutical companies. I called again to refrain from signing the contract.

Under the international framework "COVAX Facility", which aims for fair distribution of vaccines led by WHO and others, the world's first supply of 600,000 vaccines arrived in Ghana, West Africa on February 24, and on February 26. The vaccine also arrived in Côte d'Ivoire.



WHO Executive Director Tedros welcomed the progress at a regular press conference on the 26th, but said, "Individually to pharmaceutical companies to supply their own vaccines that COVAX relies on. Vaccine supply and distribution cannot be accelerated if the demand continues. "



In the background, there are a number of countries, especially developed countries, that secure more vaccines than necessary for their own people, and Secretary-General Tedros has made more unique contracts with pharmaceutical companies for each country. I called again to refrain from tying.
