UK asked by UNICEF to give 20% of vaccines to other countries

UK asked by UNICEF to give 20% of vaccines to other countries
May 12 2021 Share

According to UNICEF, the UK should make a commitment to give 20% of its vaccines to other countries which are in need by early June. UNICEF stated that the UK would still have enough jabs to vaccinate every the adult by July’s end, and will have enough spare doses to fully vaccinate 50 million people around the world. UNICEF made the call before the G7 summit and stated that the UK could set an example to the other countries in the organisation.

UNICEF pointed out that vaccinating populations globally ensures that no new variant emerges, which are proving to be easier to spread and far deadlier than the original COVID-19 virus. France has already announced a donation of up to 5% to COVAX, urging Europe and US to do the same.
