The lives of many Asians will be at risk if we do not decentralize manufacturing capacities and expand research hubs. We demand the G20-member governments to put pressure on vaccine-manufacturing countries to share COVID-19 vaccine technology! #MakeItWorkWithUs #NothingWithoutUs

[#PeoplesVaccine Asia @PVA_Asia]

Humans have the rights to life and comprehensive health. If pharmaceutical companies continue their hunger for profits, millions of Asians will suffer the devastating effects of today and future pandemics. #MakeItWorkWithUs #NothingWithoutUs

[#PeoplesVaccine Asia @PVA_Asia]

#MakeItWorkWithUs and let us contribute to providing a more comprehensive and holistic approach in ending this health crisis and future pandemics. Put people first over profit. #MakeItWorkWithUs #NothingWithoutUs

The study by @imperialcollege shows that 599,300 additional deaths could have been averted, mostly in low and lower-middle income countries, if all countries had reached a 40% vaccination rate with two or more doses by the end of 2021.

Civil society organizations play a huge role in ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccine, tests, and treatments. Without your participation, pharmaceutical profits will continue to be prioritized over human lives. #MakeItWorkWithUs #NothingWithoutUs #G20

[#PeoplesVaccine Asia @PVA_Asia]

We call on the @g20org-member governments to prioritize decentralizing manufacturing capacities now. Millions of Asians will die if lower and middle income countries wait for vaccine donations. #MakeItWorkWithUs #NothingWithoutUs #G20

The progress in vaccination in the #Maldives seemed fair compared to other countries in #SouthAsia.

[SAAPE @saape_network]

In #Bangladesh, the rapid surge in coronavirus infection is indicating an urgent need for a wider #vaccination programme while less than 4% of people are partially vaccinated. More than 19,000 people have lost their lives due to COVID-19. #PeoplesVaccine #TRIPSwaiver

[SAAPE @saape_network]

Having similar issues, people in the rural areas are not getting immediate attention as the government is prioritizing vaccination drive in the urban areas largely in #SriLanka. #TRIPSwaiver #PeoplesVaccine #VaccineApartheid

#Nepal is also facing the same problem as the procurement process is highly competitive and the government has no choice other than to wait. #PeoplesVaccine #TRIPSwaiver

#Pakistan’s vaccination drive is also facing challenges of supply delay and lack of finance while the government is planning to vaccinate 70 million people. #PeoplesVaccine #VaccineApartheid

[SAAPE @saape_network]

The recent escalation of violence between the #Taliban and the #Afghan government has hugely impacted the vaccination campaign in various parts of the country which is also helping in the spread of the virus.

[SAAPE @saape_network]

The state of vaccination in #Afghanistan is depressingly low as only 2% have received at least one dose and less than 1% are fully vaccinated since the last week of February 2021 when the government launched the vaccination programme. #PeoplesVaccine #VaccineApartheid

[SAAPE @saape_network]

Though #Bhutan’s progress in providing at least the first dose of the vaccine was remarkable (68%), the result of the second vaccination campaign is yet to come which is started on the 20th of July 2021. #PeoplesVaccine

As the WTO’s highest-level decision-making body, the General Council meeting has started from today, we reiterate our demands for TRIPS waiver on COVID-19 vaccine and related technologies. #PeoplesVaccine #TRIPSwaiver
