The COVID-19 Vaccine Should Be A Global Public Good

By |2021-05-05T17:34:03+00:00May 5th, 2021|POSITION STATEMENTS|

We can be certain about one thing when it comes to the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus: the only way to solve global problems is by coming up with global solutions.

By the end of April 2021, over 130 million people around the world contracted COVID-19 and nearly 3 million died from it. Thirty percent of COVID-related deaths occurred in Latin America.
