Map of the Month 10/2021

The 48th UN Human Rights Council convened in Geneva from September 13 to October 11, 2021. Important votes were held, among other things, on a special rapporteur on Afghanistan, on the termination of the mandate of the Group of Eminent Experts on Yemen or on the recognition of the right to a clean and healthy environment and the establishment of a special rapporteur on climate change and human rights. On October 14, the new members of the UN Human Rights Council were elected in the UN General Assembly in New York. With a comeback of the US others, all members of the UN Security Council will be represented on the Human Rights Council starting from January 1, 2022,

COVAX Deliveries: vaccine donations as a percentage of the population in recipient countries.

Map of the Month 09/2021

September's map of the month illustrates how many COVAX vaccine donations were delivered to recipient countries by the end of September. The COVAX Facility, co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, and the World Health Organization (WHO), advocates for rapid, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines around the world. Since the first international shipment to Ghana on February 24, 2021, the COVAX Facility has already delivered over 313 mln. doses of COVID-19 vaccine to 145 territories. Due to a lack of donations, the COVAX Facility will not reach its original 2021 goal of 2 billion doses until early next year. However, the revised target of 1.2 bln. doses, which will be reached by the end of this year, is sufficient to protect 20% of the population, or 40% of all adults, in all but one recipient country.

COVAX mechanisms: vaccine dose sharing from national stockpile & advance market commitment (AMC)

Map of the Month 08/2021

The COVAX facility, co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, and the World Health Organization (WHO), consists of several parallel mechanisms to increase rapid, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines across the world. The Map of the Month of August visualizes the donor countries' contributions to two different structures via which the COVAX initiative obtains and distributes vaccines to the eligible 92 low- and middle-income economies. While COVAX allows for dose sharing from a donor country's existing national supply, the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) mechanism raised funds from high- and low-income countries and worked with pharmaceutical partners before successful vaccine development and continues to pool financial resources so that doses can be produced and procured at scale as soon as vaccines receive regulatory approval.
