7 December 2020

Over 6,000 M Doses has been advanced purchase

Points of Consideration

• Benefit of advance supply agreement to accelerate vaccine development but led to over securing of vaccine among high income
• Compromising the timeliness and equality of vaccine distribution to lower income countries
• Global platform e.g. COVAX could not adequately perform its task even with the good concept of global vaccine distribution equality.
• Vaccine Self Reliance VS Vaccine Nationalism
• Building up the capacity of vaccine manufacturing in developing countries is so challenging but essential.
