"The COVAX Facility, which is the vaccine arm of the @ACTAccelerator, intends to provide doses to enable the 189 countries and economies to vaccinate those at highest risk of the virus"-@DrTedros #COVID19 #ACTogether

"In the first phase of the rollout, sufficient doses will be provided to cover health and social care workers"-@DrTedros #COVID19 #ACTogether

"As supply increases, #COVID19 vaccines will be rolled out to cover 20% of the population of participating countries and economies, which will ensure further high-risk groups are covered"-@DrTedros #ACTogether

"The payoff from this will be huge. New research by the @EurasiaGroup found that the economic benefits of a global equitable #COVID19 vaccine solution alone for just 10 high-income countries would be at least $153B in 2020-21, rising to $466B by 2025"-@DrTedros #ACTogether

"COVAX, has already secured 700 million doses of three #COVID19 vaccines and next year we aim to use additional funds to ensure that at least two billion doses of safe and effective vaccines are available around the world"-@DrTedros #ACTogether

"To ensure that this effort becomes a reality, the @ACTAccelerator, urgently requires a cash injection of $4.3 B to fast-track critical areas of work & ensure that rapid tests, treatments & new #COVID19 vaccines are distributed equitably"-@DrTedros #ACTogether

"As well as ensuring supply, manufacturing, logistics and funds are all in place, it’s important to ensure that leaders communicate with their populations about the importance of #COVID19 vaccination and how and where to get it"-@DrTedros #ACTogether
