Vaccines for All
COVID-19 has sickened nearly 181 million people, and some four million of them have succumbed to the disease. There is a rush to get vaccinated against the virus and governments are trying to ensure universal vaccination. A total of 7.9 billion people need to be protected - and the speed and scale at which vaccination has to be carried out is unprecedented.
But is the world ready for it? We know that we are not safe till all of us are safe. However, vaccination has made very slow progress in large parts of the world. Vaccines are in short supply. Their distribution is skewed, with rich countries cornering a large proportion of what is available. How do we move ahead in this scenario?
Join our Down To Earth Webinar, where some of the world's leading experts will discuss the agenda and roadmap for vaccines for all.
