Also worth noting that the UK and Canada have been singled out for criticism for sourcing vaccines from the COVAX programme, which was designed to ensure poorer countries could access vaccine supplies. Over half a million in our case - nearly a million for Canada.
Pretty shameful for two G7 nations.
We are also a very long way behind other developed nations on number of vaccine promised for developing countries, compared to that delivered
We are scheduled to give Covax 100 million shots by June 2022. We`ve delivered 5.1 million so far.
We`ve also administered just under 95 million doses in the UK so far so we are certainly giving as much/more than we are using.
Sometimes tough choices have to be made - give someone here a booster or give someone elsewhere their first shot? Valid points on both sides I would say.
