of vaccine have come true. With a dashboard to track progress, the task force aims to focus international attention and mobilize action by highlighting specific gaps that exist in different countries.
The task force on Covid-19 vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics for developing countries was established by the heads of the International Monetary Fund , World Bank Group, World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization. The job of the force was to identify and resolve challenges of access in developing countries.
“In the area of vaccines, a key constraint is the acute and alarming shortage in the supply of doses to low and low-middle income countries, especially for the rest of 2021. We call on countries with advanced Covid-19 vaccination programs to release as soon as possible as much of their contracted vaccine doses and options as possible to COVAX, AVAT, and low and low-middle income countries,” a statement from the task force said.
Currently less than 5% of vaccine doses that were pre-purchased by or for low-income countries have been delivered, according to the task force. The target was for at least 40% of the people in these countries to have access to vaccines by the end of 2021.
