She told RNZ that would not achieve much if Covid-19 was wreaking havoc in other countries, and more variants emerged. "The critical thing is to get the world vaccinated. Boxes of Covid-19 vaccine provided through the COVAX global initiative arrive at the airport in Mogadishu, Somalia. This despite the fact that the G7 countries together have around the same total population as all low-income countries combined, meaning that for every person vaccinated in a low-income country, 100 people have been vaccinated in G7 countries".
