- Category:Other
Japan says it will provide additional funds of up to 500 million dollars to the COVAX Facility, an international framework seeking a fair distribution of vaccines.
Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio made the announcement on Friday during an online meeting on equitable access to vaccines in developing countries.
The meeting was hosted by the Gavi vaccine alliance, this year's G7 head Germany and others. Gavi is an international organization that promotes vaccinations in developing nations.
Kishida said vaccines are a strong tool, but a global vaccine inequity remains. He also said that to overcome COVID-19, everyone's health must be cared for by ensuring equal access to vaccines in every country and region.
The prime minister said the additional funding is intended to give a boost to that effort.
Kishida also said his government is determined to lead international efforts to overcome the coronavirus in close cooperation with other countries and organizations.
