#COVAX has delivered over 20M #COVID19 vaccine doses to 20 countries. In the next week, it will deliver 14.4M doses to a further 31 countries. This is encouraging progress, but the volume of doses being distributed through COVAX is still relatively small.

Great to see a vaccine on the horizon. Ht @Chikwe_I
