Building a Sailboat in a Storm: The Evolution of COVAX in 2021 and Its Impact on Supplies to Southeast Asia's Six Lower-Income Economies (Trends in Southeast Asia) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In the first half of 2021, COVID-19 vaccine doses from the COVAX Facility were in short supply, and the plan to mass produce COVAX vaccines through the Serum Institute of India (SII) faltered as the pandemic surged in India in March 2021.

Due to COVAX's shift in approach towards convincing richer nations to redistribute their excess doses, the second half of 2021 saw increases in the frequency and volume of its shipments. Donors were however able to "earmark" their dose donations and identify their intended recipients.

The six Southeast Asian countries which qualified for free COVAX shots―Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, Timor-Leste and Vietnam (the AMC6)―received 16 million doses in the first half of 2021. In the second half, they received 128 million doses from COVAX, 80.9 per cent of which were earmarked donations.
