PH renews call for equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution
The Philippines renewed its call for the just equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to ensure the access of lower-income and developing countries to these life-saving medical interventions.
According to Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, the pandemic “amplified the disparities between countries,” as shown by the uneven vaccine distribution.
“It is only through the just and equitable distribution of vaccines can the world achieve a safer recovery from this pandemic. The Philippines, therefore, supports the strong call for developed countries, multilateral institutions, and global organizations to join forces in ensuring the accessibility of these life-saving doses to lower-income economies,” said Dominguez.
