Britain to donate vaccines in developing countries

In 2022, Britain plans to donate 20 million vaccines

Rome: The Prime Minister of Britain Boris Johnson has declared to provide 20 million COVID-19 vaccine shots to developing countries by the end of this year. It will help in the recovery of the post-pandemic situation said the PM.

Leaders of the 20 richest countries are gathered together in a conference organised by Mr Johnson to discuss to make progress on producing firm commitments to cut emissions before climate talks in Glasgow at the United Nations COP26 summit.

However, the PM has to get a backup plan to serve help to developing countries from the devastation of global warming and COVID-19.

The country said in a report it had delivered 10 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to the COVAX vaccine-sharing facility, with 10 million more to be delivered in the upcoming weeks, bringing the total to 30.6 million in 2021.

Also, in 2022, Britain will donate at least 20 million more Oxford-AstraZeneca doses and about 20 million Janssen doses ordered by the government to the COVAX facility, supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the GAVI vaccine alliance.

"Like a waking giant, the world economy is moving back to live. Recovery will depend on how quickly we can overcome COVID," Johnson will tell G20 leaders, according to his Downing Street office.

Mass COVID-19 vaccination within the country will be helpful to recover the economic status, trade and travel etc. However, the Western countries are running ahead of developing countries, many of which have the lowest inoculation rates and rising cases.
