=== October 2021 === Line 494 ⟶ 486: * COVAX has shipped doses to 144 countries — but some have received less than half of what they were originally allocated. <br> COVAX is clear on who’s to blame for the shortfall: vaccine manufacturers. “There’s no transparency on where we are in the queue,” Berkley told the Bureau. While some manufacturing delays were certainly legitimate, “the question is, are they equally affecting all of their customers? Or are they saying, ‘Gee, we’re going to have more political pressure from high-income countries, and therefore we’re going to allow [COVAX] to slip down the pipeline.’” <br> Kate O’Brien, director of the WHO Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, agrees: “It would be probably fair to say that it’s the manufacturers who allocated vaccines globally.” ** Olivia Goldhill, Rosa Furneaux, [https://www.statnews.com/2021/10/08/how-covax-failed-on-its-promise-to-vaccinate-the-world/ “‘Naively ambitious’: How COVAX failed on its promise to vaccinate the world”], ''STAT'', (Oct. 8, 2021)
* “More than 10 months since the first vaccines were approved, the fact that millions of health care workers still haven’t been vaccinated is an indictment on the countries and companies that control the global supply of vaccines,” Tedros said. He added that high- and upper-middle-income countries have now administered almost half as many booster shots as the total number of shots low income countries have administered. And he urged the countries headed to the G20 summit later this month in Rome to tackle vaccine inequity. |
