The COVAX Facility has delivered over 1 million doses of Pfizer–BioNTech and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines to 14 participating economies in the Region so far. This global initiative is co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and WHO. It is helping the lower- and middle-income economies in the Region to deploy COVID-19 vaccines in tandem with high-income countries, thereby contributing to the goal of ensuring equitable access to this global public good.
