Norway Commits to Donating COVID-19 Vaccines to Low-Income Countries
Dag Inge Ulstein says that equal vaccine distribution is in the best interest of every country.
Why Global Citizens Should Care:
Immunization will play an essential role in ending the COVID-19 pandemic. However, for the vaccines to work, everyone must have access to them, regardless of gender, race, age, socioeconomic status, or nationality. The United Nations is encouraging all countries to prioritize the global distribution of vaccines so that everyone can achieve quality health as a part of Global Goal 3. You can join Global Citizen by taking action here.
Norway’s Minister of International Development Dag Inge Ulstein tweeted on Monday that Norway will donate COVID-19 vaccine doses to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the ACT-Accelerator to ensure the equal distribution of the vaccine worldwide.
