UK leads way as nations endorse everyone’s equal access to coronavirus vaccines

Many nations from all around the world are joining the UK in pledging to give everyone equal rights to new coronavirus vaccination and treatments. The movement is aimed at boosting the global supply of the vaccine after getting its approval to help prevent a second wave of the pandemic.

This is a phenomenal worldwide understanding between international health associations and nations. It follows calls from the UK for the nations to cooperate, including last month’s G20 meeting.

The UK is one of the big advocates of the global attempt to find a coronavirus vaccine. Uk is providing £250 million to international research on the disease. It’s also one of the main supporters of the WHO and Gavi, the Global Vaccine Alliance, which is working to distribute vaccines in the poorest countries.

Scientists at Oxford and Imperial College London Universities are also managing efforts to develop a working vaccine. Human trials started this week in Oxford, and the government has given £42.5 million in funding to support clinical trials at both institutions.

The UK confirmed, it will co-host a Coronavirus Global Response Summit on 4 May, aiming to raise £7 billion to develop vaccines, treatments, and tests to help end the coronavirus pandemic.
