French President Emmanuel Macron has joined African leaders to kick off a planned $1-billion project to accelerate the rollout of vaccines in Africa.
French President Emmanuel Macron joined several African leaders Thursday to kick off a planned $1-billion project to accelerate the rollout of vaccines in Africa, after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaping inequalities in access to them. The launch of the African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator, which will provide financial incentives to vaccine manufacturers, offered a momentary break for Macron from domestic political concerns as a legislative election looms on June 30 and July 7.
” The WHO failed in its efforts to help countries agree to a “pandemic treaty” — to improve preparedness and response to pandemics — before its annual meeting last month. The project was shelved largely over disagreements about the sharing of information about pathogens that cause epidemics and the high-tech tools used to fight them. Negotiators will resume work on the treaty in hopes of clinching a deal by the next WHO annual meeting in 2025.
