Pleased to address Parliamentary Assembly of the @coe's debate on #COVID19 vaccines: ethical, legal and practical considerations. I shared 5⃣ actions we need to #ACTogether on:
1⃣prioritize and protect the COVAX Facility and ensure vaccines are rolled out equitably

2⃣to #ACTogether in fairness: Excess of #COVID19 vaccine doses should be shared, or countries should suspend their rights to access COVAX doses, once they have vaccinated their health workers and older people, to allow other countries to do the same.
3⃣to be accountable: All partners must live up to the promises they have made and do everything possible to increase volumes of approved #COVID19 vaccines, including through increased production, technology transfer, and licensing. #ACTogether
4⃣to be ready: All countries need to ensure that the regulatory and logistical mechanisms are in place to roll out and scale up tests, treatments and #COVID19 vaccines, and ensure that no dose is wasted. #ACTogether
5⃣to be transparent: We call on all countries with bilateral contracts – and control of supply – to be transparent on these contracts with COVAX, including on volumes, pricing and delivery dates. #COVID19 #ACTogether
Parliaments have a critical role to play, in both advocacy and community engagement, in keeping government accountable, in countering misinformation, and in allocating adequate budget for policy priorities. We must #ACTogether to end #COVID19!
