The vaccine is not coming as soon as some think and Russia has questions to answer about whether its version can work, vaccine CEO says.
Dr. Seth Berkley is regarded as one of the most influential people in the world, a"visionary" and absolutely on the frontline in fighting, controlling and managing global health threats, from flu to HIV.
Despite all the regulatory tests and licensing work still to do even with successful trials, Berkley implores countries to join coordinated efforts. Otherwise, he says, they face the stark reality of being at the back of the queue if and when one does become available. The Gates Foundation alone has donated $4.1bn to this work so far, though much of GAVI's funding comes from nation-states.
The aim is to deliver two billion safe doses of vaccine by the end of 2021, with wealthier countries pooling their resources alongside agreements with lower-income countries in a bid to find a cure., is that should a country fail in its own agreement, then at least signing up to a more coordinated approach between several countries pooling their resources, will mean every country gets access to a vaccine should one become available.
"If there is a raging pandemic going on in other countries you can't go back to normal commerce, trade, tourism, travel, all of the things that make the global economy."
