Vaccine Development
WHO is working in collaboration with scientists, business, and global health organizations through the ACT Accelerator to speed up the pandemic response. 172 economies are currently engaged in discussions to potentially participate in COVAX, a global initiative aimed at working with vaccine manufacturers to provide countries worldwide equitable access to safe and effective vaccines, once they are licensed and approved.
COVAX, the vaccines pillar of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator is the only global initiative that is working with governments and manufacturers to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are available worldwide to both higher-income and lower-income countries.
The goal of COVAX is to deliver two billion doses of safe, effective vaccines that have passed regulatory approval and/or WHO prequalification by the end of 2021. Read more.
