Excellencies, distinguished guests, dear colleagues and friends,
Good afternoon and thank you so much for the opportunity to share a few reflections with you today.
The development, approval and rollout of safe and effective vaccines against COVID-19 is giving us all hope of bringing the pandemic under control.
Around the world, 194 countries and economies have now started vaccination, and 26 have not.
COVAX has now delivered more than 38 million doses of vaccine to 105 countries and economies in the past six weeks.
