Abstract

The UK is supporting early access to COVID-19 vaccines for the world'Äôs poorest countries through a commitment to the COVAX AMC (Advance Market Commitment) using the International Financing Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm). This contribution will support access to at least 1 billion vaccine doses during 2021 for 92 developing countries. This will contribute to ending the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic by reducing morbidity and mortality. Supporting access for the world poorest countries demonstrates UK commitment to vaccine multilateralism and supports the UK'Äôs international objectives of bringing the pandemic under control and supporting global economic recovery.
