The new @WHO Global Vaccine Market Report highlights how vaccine inequity was more visible than ever with the COVID pandemic, but how this inequity isn’t restricted to COVID vaccines. This inequity is a painful truth for many vaccines.

Vaccines are public health powerhouses that markets alone cannot deliver for all.
Featuring the first data of their kind since #COVID19, WHO's Global Vaccine Market Report calls for action to provide equitable access to these life-saving public goods https://t.co/rIwXo3c0LS
A shocking fact from @WHO chief scientist @doctorsoumya:
"The number of #boosters that are being administered around the world, close to 1 million jabs a day, is 3 times the amount of vaccines being administered in low-income countries, about 330K doses a day."
#vaccinequity
"We have enough vaccine production in the 🌎. In fact, if we had shared the 6.8B doses equitably, we would have had 40% coverage everywhere by now.
The issue is prioritization of those parts of the world that don't have adequate vaccines."
-@doctorsoumya@WHO#VaccinEquity
The @WHO Global #COVID19 Vaccination Strategy launched today, aims to get vaccines into the arms of 40% of people in all countries by the end of 2021 and 70% by the middle of 2022.
This is a coordinated & credible path out of the pandemic for everyone, everywhere.
history will remember the moment at which political leaders decided to reject their responsibility to the rest of humanity in the greatest crisis of our lifetimes https://t.co/cSNwzhHf0I
Il nostro amato Gino è morto questa mattina. Non riusciamo a pensare di stare senza di lui, la sua sola presenza bastava a farci sentire tutti più forti e meno soli, anche se era lontano. Ti vogliamo bene Gino. https://t.co/HRffQ2RLyF #GinoStrada
Great team work! Kids in humanitarian settings ANYWHERE in the world have now much better chances of being protected against rotavirus. Looking forward to more antigens and more suppliers to join in! https://t.co/oNqqc4tIAk
Countries that have managed to protect their population’s health in the pandemic have generally managed to protect their economies too https://t.co/gfCGvvK5G6
No one safe until everyone is safe from #COVID19. Why? Because if there are still pockets of the SARS-CoV-2 virus anywhere, it poses a threat to every country. Taking a global, coordinated approach is essential, which is why #COVAX was created. #OneWorldProtected
