Assistant Director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Dr. Jarbas Barbosa, says additional agreements are being negotiated with two coronavirus COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers for inclusion in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access (COVAX) Facility. Speaking during PAHO’s COVID-19 digital briefing on Wednesday, Dr. Barbosa said those agreements, when concluded, will bring the number to four, following those reached with manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna, which resulted from two initial invitations for entities to submit bids for the provision of vaccines. He pointed out that the third phase of the overall vaccine bidding process, being jointly spearheaded by PAHO and UNICEF on behalf on WHO, commenced on November 23.
