TunisiaEU-supported COVAX delivers first doses of COVID-19 vaccines to Morocco
The European Union welcomes, as one of the main donors to the global COVAX initiative, the delivery to Morocco of 307,200 doses of vaccines, out of the 1,608,000 planned under this framework.
This delivery, as well as those that will follow in the coming weeks, will contribute to the vaccination campaign undertaken with commitment and voluntarism by the Moroccan authorities. The European Union pays tributes to WHO, UNICEF and other contributors to COVAX for their involvement in this initiative.
COVAX is a global facility representing partnership between the World Health Organization (WHO), Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) working on the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. It includes 190 countries with population of more than 7 billion people and ensures fair and equal access to COVID-19 vaccines supplied through UNICEF.
From the start, the EU and its Member States (Team Europe) contributed €2.2 billion to this mechanism to ensure WHO-approved vaccine doses in 92 low- and middle-income countries to make COVID-19 vaccines a global public good.
