Society
Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. Gavi, the Global
Vaccine Alliance, announced recently the distribution forecast for countries,
including Mongolia, to be allocated Covid-19 vaccines through the COVAX Global
Vaccines Facility. The UK is one of the largest global donors to the COVAX
facility, contributing £548 million. The UK also hosted a “Global Vaccine
Summit’’ in June 2020, at which global leaders made historic commitments to
enable equal access to vaccines for all. Mongolia will receive doses of both
the Pfizer and AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines.
On the allocation of vaccines, HMA Malone said ‘’ This is an important milestone in the global fight against Covid-19. The UK has provided strong political and financial support to the COVAX facility since its establishment in 2020, to ensure vaccines reach people in low and middle income countries as quickly as possible.”
