G7 agrees to donate one billion Covid-19 vaccines
- 3 years ago
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Sunday (June 13) that the G7 nations have pledged to provide one billion COVID-19 vaccinations to help boost vaccination campaigns in poorer countries.
During a news conference following the conclusion of the summit in England's Cornwall, Johnson said the pledge was in response to a request by him.
Experts say Sunday's pledge does not represent entirely new resources, and the donation is far short of the 5 billion to 6 billion shots needed by poorer nations.
