What are G7 countries promising on COVID vaccines?
Group of Seven leaders are pledging to donate hundreds of millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines to poorer countries around the world.
United Nations’ chief Antonio Guterres criticised wealthy nations in February, saying distribution was “wildly uneven and unfair” and warning against so-called “vaccine nationalism” and “vaccine hoarding”.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said the pandemic is being perpetuated by a “scandalous inequity” in vaccine distribution.
The commitments are also seen as an effort to counter China, which is one of the world’s biggest economies, but is not part of the G7.
