Egypt: Provide equitable Covid-19 vaccine access [EN/AR]

Government Planning Opaque, Inadequate
(Beirut) – The Egyptian government should bolster measures to provide equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines for everyone in Egypt, Human Rights Watch said today. The government should allocate vaccines transparently, based on sound medical and public policy criteria, including World Health Organization guidance.
By early March, 2021, the Egyptian government had made vaccines available only to some health workers, as well as limited numbers of older people and people with chronic illnesses and had not provided a clear plan for its rollout. Official statements, mostly verbal, have been contradictory and suggest that the government plans to charge for the vaccine or require millions of low-income people to apply for a fee waiver, exacerbating inequitable access.
