Step up the pace globally if universal vaccination could lead us out of the pandemic

Stamp out inequity from global vaccine rollout

Malaysian Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin tweeted that "The COVAX facility has failed. Rich countries continue to hoard vaccines. Big pharma prioritise delivery to rich countries. My country had to fight this inequity to become top 35 most vaccinated country in the world. What about poorer countries? World must fight this injustice." Let us hope we do not miss the chance to find a possible way out of the pandemic via universal vaccination worldwide before the window closes.
