Friend,
The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t over until it’s over everywhere. Of the more than three billion COVID-19 vaccine doses that have been administered worldwide, only 0.3 percent have been in low-income countries–including in many of the places where Doctors Without Borders works. As the pandemic continues to spread, the United States needs to take immediate action to protect vulnerable people around the world. That’s why Doctors Without Borders is calling on the Biden administration to help make equitable vaccine access a reality for all people, in all countries.
Show the Biden administration that you care about the millions of people who have been left out of the global vaccine rollout–add your name to our petition outlining the steps our leaders must take to ensure vaccine equity becomes a reality.
We're calling on the Biden administration to :
- share more vaccine doses as quickly and widely as possible.
- help scale up mRNA vaccine manufacturing capacity around the world.
- remove intellectual property barriers that limit our ability to produce the vaccines and treatments needed to end this pandemic.
- pull back the curtain to reveal how pharmaceutical corporations spend taxpayer dollars to bring vaccines and other medical tools to market.
The Biden administration has announced plans to share a small portion of America’s COVID-19 vaccines and purchase 500 million doses for distribution globally. While these are great first steps, they don’t go far enough, fast enough. The world needs more doses NOW. Every day we wait, more people will die. We run the risk that new variants–potentially capable of overpowering currently available vaccines–will take hold.
The fight against COVID-19 is global–and will only be successful if we share our resources globally, freely, and quickly.
Thank you for your support,
Doctors Without Borders.
