Gavi- the Vaccine Alliance, leads Covax facility that was created last year to ensure equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines across the world. However, on the flip side, despite a substantial ramp up in production of Covid-19 vaccines, it is nowhere near meeting the global demand. Over 190 economies coming together under COVAX to espouse the cause of equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines is nothing less than historic. That is why SII was prioritized for pre-financing of Covid-19 vaccines with an agreement to procure up to 1 billion vaccine doses.
