Turning to vaccines, developing countries need 5 billion more doses to vaccinate 70 percent of their population by the middle of next year. Some urgent steps are needed: (i) swapping near-term vaccine delivery schedules with COVAX and AVAT; (ii) closing the gap between pledges and deliveries; and (iii) eliminating trade and regulatory barriers. Finance and health ministers in developing countries should also seek contracts that include early delivery schedules. 650 4 Coronavirus 650 4 Disease Control and Prevention 650 4 Finance and Financial Sector Development 650 4 Health, Nutrition and Population 650 4 Immunizations 650 4 Trade Barriers 830 0 Speeches of World Bank Presidents. 830 0 World Bank e-Library. 906 BOOK
