[READ] Unicef ambassadors sign open letter to G7 leaders to make urgent vaccine donations

Published on

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors and supporters have signed an open letter to G7 leaders calling on them to make these urgent donations by August and to set out a roadmap to scale up donations as supplies increase.

This as the G7 meeting is set to get underway tomorrow.

UNICEF says the world has a lot of COVID-19 vaccines, but currently less than 1% of global supply is reaching people in low-income countries.

That is why they are urging richer nations to #DonateDosesNow.
