Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic is not over. The virus is continuing to inflict a significant loss of lives and livelihoods, hampering the global economic recovery. This event aims to take stock of the global roll out of COVID-19 vaccines, diagnostics and treatments, identify priority areas to accelerate equitable access, and mobilize additional political support to effectively end the pandemic this year by accelerating vaccination rates and implementing test to treat strategies everywhere.
Description
