Countries like Zimbabwe, Mexico and Pakistan may have to Wait for Corona Vaccine
According to researchers at Duke University, which monitors deals between governments and vaccine companies, some countries have overstated their populations. Canada has received enough doses of the vaccine that its entire population can be vaccinated five times.Before the vaccine can be effective and use it to get their countries' economies back on their feet, these countries have taken risks in buying the vaccine. The People's Vaccine Alliance campaign believes the practice is unfair. It says "more vaccines should be distributed to countries where they are needed". So far, 189 countries have signed the VOA Initiative. These countries have supported the World Health Organization and the supply of vaccines internationally. The effort aims to unite the world into a global block to make deals with pharmaceutical companies easier.Of these, 92 are either low-income or low-income countries. Donor countries will pay for the vaccine. The United Kingdom has announced 500 million in funding for this purpose. Russia and the United States are among the few countries that are not donating. The rest of the world will buy the vaccine through Covax, but it may be available to them at a good price if they bargain well for themselves.So far, Covax has received three successful vaccines. But so far this vaccine deal will only benefit 20% of the world's population.
Mexico is a big supporter of the scheme and will buy vaccines through it. But Martha Delgado, a senior official who negotiated the vaccine deal for Mexico, knows that getting the vaccine for 20 percent of the population will not stop the growing number of people infected with the Covid-19 virus. She is also trying to get vaccines from other sources. And the delay in achieving this can lead to many deaths. "The coming months are very critical," she says.When she said on October 13 that, this was a symbolically significant moment, he had made direct deals for his country with three companies. He had struck a deal with Pfizer to become the most popular vaccine at the time, the first use of which has already begun.On Friday, Mexico authorized the use of the vaccine on an emergency basis. And it will be given to the people from the same month."Mexico has the potential to buy the vaccine itself," said Miss Delgado. I have seen countries in Latin America that do not have the financial resources to buy the vaccine and there is no guarantee that they will have access to the vaccine.The vaccine, which is being developed at Oxford University in partnership with AstraZeneca, has said it will not make a profit by selling it to developing countries, but the use of this vaccine in the UK has not yet been confirmed. And not a single pharmaceutical company has the capacity to develop this vaccine in a few months for a population of 1.58 billion worldwide.
Dr. Faisal Sultan, Health Adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, who has been involved in the vaccine negotiations, said that "like Mexico, the issue of Pakistan has been raised in the negotiations with the vaccine companies. "He says talks are going well but so far he has not succeeded in getting any vaccine. Unless it is known how effective a vaccine is, Pakistan cannot afford to pay for the vaccine.
