WHO aims to ensure that successful #COVID19 vaccines are shared equitably across all countries 🌏🌎🌍.

The 🗝️ to achieving this is the design & implementation of a Fair Allocation Framework. 👉bit.ly/3qQ0Ksu

When a #COVID19 vaccine becomes available, it’s important that priority groups receive the vaccine first. This includes:

✅Frontline health & social care workers
✅People aged 65 & over
✅People aged under 65 having underlying health conditions

1⃣ phase of allocation: doses will be made available to participating countries simultaneously until they can cover approximately 20% of the population of every country.

2⃣ phase of allocation: countries would receive additional doses of vaccine, depending on their risk and if substantial supply limitations remain

In addition to phases 1⃣ & 2⃣, up to 5% of the total number of available doses of vaccine are reserved for other vulnerable populations as part of a “humanitarian buffer”
