CARICOM is calling on the World Health Organization (WHO) to hold a global summit to discuss the ability of countries to access covid19 vaccines.
In a communique issued on Friday, after the end of the 32nd inter-sessional meeting of Caricom heads of government on Thursday, Caricom said this summit must address urgently equitable access to covid19 vaccines, particularly for developing countries, which should be held in the context of the World Health Organization’s ACT-A Facilitation Council.
